Hardly.

The 'Pat' pictures are my initial attempts to mix ambient and flash with, hopefully, a little humor. I like the way chesterjohnphoto minimizes existing light to enhance his subject, hence the parody of his photo.

So far, so good! I can image your neighbors thoughts, or the look on your families faces while taking these! It's very hard to find someone with a sense of humor these day's! Thank you for sharing your neat photo's!

Pat saw this one ^ and wanted to do a similar glamor shoot in the backyard.

The post processing on the face is amazing. How did you get it so smooth? LOL.

a little off-topic, but I hope someone can answer my question...

on my screen, my shots look the attached pic on the right....on IE, they look like the one on the left.

due to flickr compression? other pics I see are so vibrant and colorful, and yet most of mine look dull....I know some of it's my fault, but come on

The color shift is probably from not using sRGB. If youre in Adobe color space, switch to sRGB. As for as the image sharpness, I dunno. Its really soft on the right and too sharp on the left.
