Self Portrait 1

It's a very nice SP. The single light source models your face nicely, and the black BG gives the image a sort of live performance stage look.
I thought it was a live performance shot before I opened the thumb.

For this subject, the flash does give it a lot of contrast, and highlights the details of the spider. The empty dark BG also helps to make it stand out with no distractions. I also see the faint lines of the web in the corner, which is just enough to give it some setting.
If you want to use flash on subjects that are very close to the camera and not have such a strong single point lighting, try cutting a styrofoam cup to cover your flash and diffuse the light. Even a piece of white paper works pretty good for that.
You have been on DPC a long time. It's good to see you getting involved more.

Try cropping the building on the right edge out, then take about that much off the top, and the subjects will all be a little more up front in the shot. Sharpness is good with that lens and the shutter speed/aperture combo that you used.

I can see why this got your attention. You did a nice job with composition too, the way the angles in the boom work with the diagonal, and then the border as well. Great sky for this shot.

That's a very content looking goat. It looks almost as if you posed her for the shot. The fill flash was just the right level for this too.

Lucky you to have such a grand subject right at home. It almost looks like you could touch it.

You are making the most of the 10-20 with the street challenge going on too. Nice point of view for this shot.

You captured the exact right moment with this shot. B&W fits the scene as well. It gives it a 1950's retro feel.
