I wouldn't use your flash until you figure out general exposure. There is no real subject to the first two, the lighting is harsh and cold, the second is crooked. Look up the rule of thirds and depth of field.

Perhaps a different angle on the paint bottles would make it more interesting. As it stands, they look like la-dee-da snapshots.

What was the end goal for these images? Was it for enjoyment, archiving a moment in time, sales, journalism, creativity, society acceptance, shock and awe, popularity, resume catcher? That will determine how effective they are.

Dear Bitter, you are funny.

To the OP: As was said above "I wouldn't use your flash until you figure out general exposure. There is no real subject to the first two, the lighting is harsh and cold, the second is crooked. Look up the rule of thirds and depth of field.

Grab two books from your local library. Both by Bryan Peterson "Understanding Exposure" and "Learning to See Creatively." These will help you out a ton. I have taken MANY pics like this just as practice on exposure and Depth of Field (DOF) Nothing wrong with that. If that is what you are practicing ask for specific feedback on that otherwise the "Whole Deal" will be CC'ed.
