And the first one was with the 18-55 plus sb-600

The lighting's actually okay. The last one could be a little brighter, but for the mood and photojournalistic style in the set, the underexposure works.

Thanks for sharing.

I love #3, great work.
#1 looks a little depressed though, maybe you should have smiled a little?

I like the moodiness of the entire series, but my favorite is # 3...

"things are looking up"...nice in black and white...number 4 would have been killer, but, I choose #3...

Of course you're not! The picture looks that way though, because of the weird angle and your feet, the make the photo a little too dark.

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE 500TH POST!!!
