Flashing in the Garden

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Few from a play with off camera flash:

Notes for next time: The camera's LCD ain't great at showing when you've got the angle wrong and the flash is directly spilling into the lens a little. Leads to washed out pics :roll:

I really like the first, and don't mind the 2nd either.

The third and fourther don't have much to offer me, they lack impact and a dominate focus for me.

Thanks Craig.

Did you view the larger versions (click for larger)? The thumbnails don't really show the in focus parts of 3 and 4.

I love the 4th. DOF is spot on.

Really like the 4th too. I thought the DOF was just as I would have liked when I saw the thumbnail but in the larger version it seems a little shallow.

The 2nd one does it for me.

Pippin88, Have a question though .. when I look at the larger images by clicking on the thumbnail .. ISO shows up as " 13107200"... a problem?

Guilty as charged, the forums been super slow for me so I hadn't checked the larger versions, I have now, and my preferences for the first and second hasn't changed.

Thanks for the comments.

Binky: I'm aware of that problem - appeared one time when I did a gallery update, but I can't really be bothered to try fix it.
