These are shots I took this weekend of my son and his friend for their first communion.

I took advantage of my new 580EXII that I got a few days ago and used it on camera to trigger my 430EX hand-held bare by a friend (the other boys dad).

Still learning OCF so please C&C is great appreciated.

that last shot is GREAT. it perfectly captures the awkwardness they feel in being dressed up, and the silly and goofy bond between little boys that age. GREAT.

You did an awesome job on these. The separation between subject and background is really nice, and the flash looks even and natural. Cute kiddos too.. congrats on the Communion.
