How can my pic compare to yours. Mine only newbie one. Still experimenting with settings. Got very bad experience with my new Flash. I know that its hard to choose BG. So far, the places I shoot do not have good BG. Your BG considered very good liao.
Tell you a secret, I got hold of the keys yesterday and secretly went out to shoot but alas my wife found out and called me on HP to come back quickly. only manage to shoot some "Dancing Daddy" and a Fly. All OOF, dunno why. I was using tripod with focus rail and using remote cable so not possible to hand shake. Maybe it the breeze. The BG....very cluttered as I got no time to wonder far.
