Very nice JD. The light is very nicely diffused and you've got some lovely compositions.

They do look a tad dark though. Perhaps a little exposure / shadows lifting?

Thanks Ian :)

I agree with a little dark, they didn't look this dark before i uploaded them. I did as much shadow lifting as i could in PP without bringing up too much noise, i shot these at F/13 at ISO 400 with a 1/250 SS, kinda lost track of my settings in my excitement :oops:

I agree, the light is soft and diffused but more juice is needed on the flash :)

nice compositions :)

Thanks everyone for the comments.
