How'd you manage 1/160s and get such a bright background still? Must've been a very bright day!

#3 very nice. Good background exposure and colours.

Thanks mr_jason!
It was a cloudy/sunny day, and the sun broke through the clouds during this time. Had to balance the shutter and the flash...

Very nice shots there. Love the last one.

Thanks for sharing. Cheers!

Your background is bright and fill flash is weak. Try to balance the exposure to make the shots look better.
