What do you think?

I know the the flash is a little over the top...maybe, but I like it. My question is do all of you like it of does it look to fake? If there are any other critiques I would love to hear them. Especially if critical.


Thanks in advance

Its Ok, does not look fake. They do seem a bit bright compared to the overall image.

Hey Jeff, to answer your question, I like it! It doesn't look fake, but it looks like a flash had been used to balance the ambient lighting.

I like it. I might have knocked the flash down a bit but not much.

Remember, you're asking photographers who know how you got that look. I like the subject to stand out a bit and they do here.

Thanks everyone. I liked the "too much" flash because it added more separation and a lot more pop. I know that many photographers here prefer the same brightness for the fore and backgrounds so the flash is not so obvious. This obvious light might be exactly why I like it so much, because it isn't the same.

Thanks for the feed back
