Worked with a model today!

Actually, I needed work playing with my SB600 flash.
So, my neighbors loaned me their adorable little boy.
THis was a much diffferent game than shooting the castle at WDW!!! LOL

I learned a lot and the parents were happy (dad got tearful when he saw the first shot.

Seriously, though guys--would appreciate critiques about how these could have been improved.

I know I blew the focus here, but his expression was priceless. Would you buy that I was trying to go for a "soft focus" on this little fella?

Decided to play with natural light a bit, too. Background is a bit busy for my taste.
