Hello Tom,

Nice take on the WA. If possible, I would add just a tad of fill light in PS to the lower / darker ones (IMHO). Happy New Year.

Best Regards,
Kurt

Thanks, Kurt. There was no flash in this shot so I have no way of adding a fill light.

Thanks again,

Tom

Cropping is a bit too tight. Composition is also a bit too centered to my liking.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

Nice shot, Tom. I kind of like the crop but I could also see it a bit wider. To get some fill you might have tried a piece of white paper to reflect the bright light from the windows.

Have a wonderful 2010!

Mmmmm, yes. I bought a whole box of these yesterday to eat & shoot today! I love these things!!! I like the composition; the metal bowl and the arrangement gives a neat symmetry.

Thanks for the input guys. I do appreciate it. I may try to reshoot but I'm not sure if I'll manage that. I don't have a flash rig so I am hostage to natural light - of which there is rather little after I get home from work these days.

Thanks again,

Tom

Okay, I tried a second take on the Clementine theme. Not sure which I like better but I've changed my entry.

For reference, this is the original:

Flash photography is not my forte and this was taken with the camera-mounted flash since I missed the sunset by 10 minutes and I don't have any other flashes.

Thanks for looking.

Seriously though, with this with the on-board pop-up flash or in the hot shoe?

Pop-up. I do almost no flash photography so that's all I have. TH

I just recently (Christmas) obtained a Speedlite 580EX-II as my introduction into hot-shoe & off-camera flash. In the past I have experimented with a few DIY pop-up-flash diffusers using household materials with moderate success (white sheet, white satin, tissue paper, etc...).

Best Regards,
Kurt

Thanks for the advice, Kurt. Should I have a hankering to do much more flash stuff, I'll try some of those tricks.

Thanks again,

Tom

Nicely flashed shot. Lots of color and drama.
