metallilan and armadillo,thanks for the kind comments!

Metallilan, you're right about the stuff at the back being distracting... will think about how to crop that away.. hehehe...

Was wondering if the lighting on the sunflowers was too harsh and if the flowers might be over exposed??

#1 background distracting. not easy to capture, if you can do a DOF, concentrate on the foreground, blur background will be good.

#2 abit harsh shadow on the flowers. possible usage of flash can solve the problem?

#3 this one pretty good.

Thanks for the tip! That's one thing that I should keep in mind... using the flash to fill in the shadows...

Someone just commented that the flowers lack 'life'... How to add 'life' to the flowers leh...?

#3 is good, think ur still not utilising the full potential of your cam.

Thanks for the comments...

My skills are still not good enough to fully utilise what the FZ20 can do... tips and shifus welcomed!
