Hi

A nice looking composition and the underexposing of the surrounds certainly helps make the subject stand out – it works but it would not be my ideal lighting look

All the best

Yes, I can just see a bride draped seductively around this old tree stump! :D

Nice image of this lizard with excellent detail!

Good idea but in my opinion the management of flash light is not optimal, there is too much exposure difference between the subject and the background
