Nice butt shots there :thumbsup:

I'm by all means not a pro, but I do feel #2,4 and 5 are a bit under while #3 flash is abit harsh. Overall I love them.

Thanks for sharing...

Thanks, fengwei, agree with your comments. I have not really mastered the flash.
It has been sometime since we last met at Sime Forest. Have enyoyed viewing your macro and other shots posted here. Keep up with your good work.
