I was shooting some gulls on a stormy day using all sorts of flash techniques. This is one of my favorites from the shoot. I like the pose and the goofy look on her face.

Very well done. Good use of the light and flash. The patience to get the pose paid off, too.

Technically excellent.

Excellent job dealing with the low max flash sync speed of the D100. This gives me hope as I too use this camera. Well done.
