I always try and shoot F/16, handheld, manual 1/320 sec matrix metering forcing the flash compensate. I guess that explains why my shots always look the same. I always use direct flash too. I'm going to have to get a diffuser and try that, thanks.
Here's on from today a touch more open, I like this style much more and think it's a step towards yours and Rooz' style. I think I have to open it up a little more and increase my SS to move away from dark backgrounds. I still like it though.
Very nice shot. The DOF is great.
My backgrounds are not only brighter due to faster shutter and apperture, but also due to PP; I often use a bit of shadow compensation in Capture NX, to make the background a bit brighter. This does induce some noise so sometimes I run the image through Neatimage as well.

Dennis, that's a beautiful shot, as always. I love the colors and clarity you get in your shots. You're pulling amazing stuff out of your "unconventional" lenses!
Who's the poor mug who is going to follow up after that awesome shot.
Oh well it may as well be me.
