^Thanks for the info.

Here's a few HDRs. Merged in Photomatix & further processed in PS. Taken at the same time as the other pics I'd uploaded earlier. Thanks for looking, :).

Edit: Any critique is most welcome.

Quite liked the headshot of the boy, esp. the catch light. Would like to have seen that guy in the bg cloned out though. Good job nonehteless. Could you please share the exif in brief?

People who don't upload on Flickr and where exif isn't readily available are requested to post the details :)

Shot at 4 in the morning with the Tamron 90mm


Moth by Freaky@TE, on Flickr

Turned out to be an extremely difficult one - It was sitting on one corner of a switch box :p Taken with flash bounced off the ceiling

sumchamp: Quite liked the 2nd one. Especially the oof flowers (nice touch having the red ones as well) in the background.
@Brendon: Is that HDR?

Nope, used a 3 stop hard edge GND filter. Am attempting to avoid shooting HDRs henceforth as I find the output a bit too unnatural. However not all shots can be done with a GND filter (especially city scapes with an uneven transition from sky to ground. A soft edge filter can work but HDR can give better results.)

Why not submit some of your photos at Nat Geo ? :)

^^ Ah, was thinking of entering that but a) Its too expensive ($25 just to enter) and b) the competition is waay too good. :)
