as a portrait it works ….but …i definitely would have tried to avoid the bar at the bottom or clone it out …….and i think the inclusion of the cat is just weird ! …other than that like i said , a good portrait . nice side lighting .

Thanks Jodal, I get it about the bar.

i think its quite quirky and interesting… funny expression. is the cat real? its hard to tell as the eyes look so different from each other and the paws look a bit funny…. is it a self portrait?

whats the diagonal bar in the foreground? might be better without…

Thanks Isabella. Yeah, cat is real, was caught and brought into the scene :) as you say ‘quirky’ I take it as I got to the right spot :D
Yeah again, I was trying to make a new pic for my FB profile :D
I get it about the bar – basically that’s narrow coffee table. You may be right – I better get rid of it.

thanks everyone for comments – all i know about postprocessing – few books and googling – was nice to get few opinions. Doing no.1 myself – tried to keep it as realistic as possible.

Checked with Conn’s – basically they said newer flashes are compatible with older cameras.
Same from Nikon – ‘Dear Customer ,
Thank you for contacting Nikon technical support regarding your query.
The SB-700 is fully compatible with the D5000. ‘
Sounds like I’ll be ordering one of SB700 soon.

Thanks for reply Ted.
Nikon’s SB-700 pages says ‘Compatible cameras: All cameras compatible with Nikon Creative Lighting System (other cameras can be used but functionality is reduced)’
Same on Nikon’s page about D5000 – ‘Nikon D5000 Other Features:Support for the Nikon Creative Lighting System when using SB-900 or SB-800 Speedlights, or the SU-800 Wireless Speedlight Commander.’
Seems to be both have Creative Lighting System, but there’s nothing about straight forward compatibility as ‘SB700 fits to D5000’ )

hi, slightly offtopic, but still in street photography. Are there any legal issues in photographing strangers on the street? Would you need to get their permission?
