Daniel,

Looks like a tough assignment ... You had done well using full flash! I like the first and last photos however. I think you can improve the first one by cropping it into vertical and get rid of bright 'windows' on its left altogether.

KK, many thanks for your words. ;)

I had used Av mode with -1/3 BB flash, i.e. I intended to capture the background light although the great contrast of white sky and dark tree-shadow was so unpleasant. The object was also close to the leaf branches. These finally make it look like a full flash photo. :(

Should I try -1 BB flash next time?

Best
Daniel

I do think that you can get away with -1 stop flash compensation in this case. A slightly darker BG will in fact be working to your advantage ...
