S5 Pro - the latest addition to the collection in the house

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Here are some shots that I took of my little sister's new S5 Pro, she decided to take on photography as the skills component of her Duke of Edinburgh Award, so we decided to get her something good. Lets not mention my fascination for this camera.

tis essentially a D200 with Fuji insides, too bad they had to use their own battery, menu and button setup, makes switching between this and my D300 a little difficult. It feels so similar yet so different.

For the first image i had a SB-800 with diffuser cap shot through a semi transparent reflector on the RHS and a SB-600 with a diffuser cap on the LHS. For the others it was capped SB-800 and SB-600 in various positions. All were controlled by the pop up flash of the D300 (set not to contribute light, but to act as a commander).
