#1+2 have interesting colors but lack a bit in the composition department.
#3 would look better without the fence. You could perhaps go closer to the car and try some interesting perspective around the car onto your farm...
#6 has a nice atmosphere from the back-lighting. It's also well exposed in such a critical situation!
#9 is not the best, because you flashed the lady plain in the face. This never looks good. Try available light at higher ISO or try to flash indirectly.

thanks, for the response my AF-540 is out of batteries at the moment so i had to use just the standard flash ,

im starting to shoot more in raw too now , so i will be able to tweak them alil easier . one thing im having an issue with is the over dark areas , or the white-out areas , still giving me a hard time but i hope to work that problem out in the comming weeks and months

in 2 weeks of owning the camera im just under 1000 pics already

This will be easier to handle from the RAW pic, as you normally can correct up to +-2EV easily.
But in your posts above, I don't see critical dark/white areas!?

Drill-lights,

For picture #4, was the image tone (MENU > Rec. Mode > Page 1/2 > 3rd line, see page 120 of the manual) set to natural or bright? In comparison, Picture #3 has mode vivid colours.

That's really tricky. I've experienced the same difficulties with that setting. So finally, I selected natural image tone but with saturation (MENU > Rec. Mode > Page 1/2 > 4rd line, see page 121 of the manual) set at +1.

Best way to choose is to take various pictures of the same view with different setting. Another way is to shoot in RAW mode and use post-development with the Pentax Laboratory.

Most important of all: have fun

1000 pics in two weeks? That's pretty impressive (especially if you're not away on holiday), and a great way to get to know your camera!

Glad it's all working out!

its slowly getting better , but there is still a TON of stuff to learn to be very efficient with it
