I grabbed the gear and went for a quick trek over to Floriade on Saturday. Unfortunately upon arrival i realised my mistake in going on the weekend - there were a million people there and to add insult to injury it was blowing a gale. Nevertheless i grabbed out the Siggie and decided it was time for the flash to get its first go.
Here are some of the results of the trip - I'm planning on heading back there a couple more times so any C & C is more than appreciated!
Thanks

Hi Jason,
Good to see that your trip down there was worth it. I am hoping to get down there on Thursday all going well....
The Pics:
1) I quite like this shot, but would love to see a slightly tighter crop on the detail myself.
2) Whilst it is a good shot, it lacks something in my opinion. Perhaps a tighter crop would be better (crop to show only the detail, removing the OOF LHS)?
3) The bottom is great, the top seems to be a little bit over exposed. If this was taken with a flash, perhaps it was a lens shadow? I love the detail, and the effect though!
4) I love this shot, but just want more depth of field!
Just my $0.02,
Tristan

I like the last one most, even with (and maybe because) the shallow depth of field. Whatcamera settings were you using?
