Ah...I see. Aparently there are many ways to play with flash. I was so pleased with my difusser. I'll have to google this snoot thing - thanks for explaining |

| Beautiful with all those light and dark places. Not sure if I understand how you can cancel mid-day sun with a flash, but if you can get this kind of results with it, I certainly have to try that once. |

| This is perfectly exposed, the snoot seems to be working just as you planned. |

| Interesting effect the snoot gave you, especially shooting in the sun. It would interesting to see the snoot itself. |

| Your snoots a good one. Amazing, that you got this result, in midday sun. |

| Really pretty, IMO I find the little blur around the flower toward the bottom center a little distracting. You did a great job at not blowing out all those highlights. |
