A lot of great shots in this series.

I think some of the java-based websites can prevent snaffling of pictures - if you right-click and try and save as.. you get a message telling you that you cannot. However, I can't think of an example at the moment!

I think the author is german and writing in a second language and even though I'm drinking a glass of Spitfire Ale, I can't really hold that against him!

Matts' excellent sticky not withstanding, the topic of flash photography is terribly complicated. I came across this website http://www.jr-worldwi.de/photo/index.html?flash_technique.html which seems to cover a lot of the topics and questions that get asked around here.

I was only guessing! I'm a photographer not a musician (as you'd know f you heard me singing!)

This particular type of aircraft is so POWERFUL that you need fibre reinforced tape to keep your ribcage from exploding. It really feels like your internals are rattling around in your ribcage while your sternum struggles to hold it together. This happens when he uses his fourth (?) stage afterburner and points it at you.
So how well does the Pentax SR work under these circumstances?!

Yes, lose the leaf, and maybe adjust the positioning of the flower too, it doesn't seem to be quite on the thirds or in the center either. Maybe more light directly on the heart of the flower? Also try a tight crop on the flower and lose all the leaves. Nice combination of colours, very summery and suggestive of a bright sunny summer day.
