#1 - Snooted Speedlite? And the light on the right, was that another Speedlite or light from a lamp? Color seems warmer.
#2 - Nice panning capture...only wish the vehicle was larger in the frame.
#3 - Wish the newt (or whatever it is) was a little larger in the frame. The shallow DOF is cool, but I feel like it needs a little more DOF for this particular shot. And portrait orientation might work well for this.
thank you so much for the comment, it's so hard to get (good) ones on the forum!
i'm really hoping you'll be surprised when you read this but no flash was used on the first, i was not allowed to use it in the building, yes the lighting was that dramatic so i wasn't very disappointed heh. yeah, thx for the tip on the other two.
