The exposure is spot on for all. Soft and comfortable. Find the color is bit too flat?

2nd shot seems like focus on the legs instead?

hi lionking, thanks! glad u like them...

hi hosea, thanks for the kind comments...i'm flattered... i'm no expert to give tuition but i can share what i've learnt... rather i think i need some tuition on landscape, street and portait photography from u...

hi qazwer, thanks...

hi perspective-act, thanks but i'm no master...i'm learning as well.... here are my settings for these shots.

400mm+1.4tc+500D
iso200-400
f22-32
1/10s
partial meter
tripod mount
no flash
mlu

hi airforce1, thanks... settings as above...

hi sumball, thanks for the kind comments.... i agree on the colors but i prefer to keep it as natural as possible... as for the 2nd shot, as much as i wanted to keep the eyes and body in focus, i choose to compromise the eyes alittle at that experimental angle... here's a 100% crop shot of it...


hi ortega, thanks... here's another shot that includes the leaf's tip...


hi henry, thanks for the kind words... i'm glad u like them... settings as above..

cheers...
