Hi PLS. I see you are new so I will give you a little advise. It really does not bother me but posting a picture on someones elses thread without asking really aggrivates some people on the forum. You should either start your own thread or ask permission to post on someones elses. Nice pic.

I like the macro, the frontal shoots are my favorite. This wasp kept bugging me while I was taking Humming bird photos.

I have a lot of lens, some considered pro, and overall, including it's versitility I really love this lens. If I had to get rid of every lens but one this is the one I would keep.

I didn't take my macro so I used my Nikon 18-200 and cropped. Pretty pleased using that lens.

There was a creek where I was staying and there were several nice dragon flies there.
My favorite

Denise, are you saying you use black all the time? I love it on some but it does not work on a lot of models, or at least that is what I have found.

I'm also new to this and learning but a couple of things I did learn is - your shutter speed is too slow, should be above 1/60sec, you might be on tripod, but what about your subject having to sit so perfectly still. You also need a black velvet background. Most important that has already been mentioned is getting the catch lights in the eyes. Its the first thing you notice in a portrait. Good luck.

Captain, I think you are one of the very best portrait photographers on the forum and I would certainly take your advise over mine. Seems I have better luck not direct lighting a background as a general rule. I have done it to achieve a certain look but normally the carry over light from the front light source is enough. Like most everything in life each person has his own thoughts on what works best for him. I have found that each good portrait photographer has his own "look" that he likes and is known by, yours is certainly great.

I am not sure I agree with much of this. Unless you are using a green or blue screen I would not highlight the background. The main flash should be a little higher than the subject and on the exposed side of the face. Fill flash only as needed depending on what effect you are trying to get. IMO. I do agree on distancing the model from the back ground and using a hair light.
