Cloud City Self Portrait

So I took this one with a pulse of the flash on the wheat and one on myself. Everyone on Myspace seemed to like it and i thought I would consult my friends in this lovely forum.

Interesting idea.
I think the flash is overexposed compared to the background, if you get the chance to try again, experiment with 1/2 or 1/4 power.

Thanks. I dunno whats up with the flash... its so old I cant believe it works. but the problem is, is that I cant power it down or sync it with my Digital SLR. its just handy when i absolutely need an off camera.

I think its neat the way it is. But you probably could have done this with post processing too.

thanks Don... and right you are... but isnt that cheating? Haha plus this was just a spur of the moment, I need a new photo for myspace and the shutter is open right now, kinda thing lol.

I think you should be bigger in the shot.

I like the background, but there's just so much of it that's blank.

Too much extreme lighting on one side of your head.

Good try - try a few more and see what you get.

Interesting shot...I cant decide if I love it or hate it but I just want to keep looking at it.

Well done!!

Try blocking some of the flash with something translucent.
