Few shot from my new (???ebay) Promaster 70-300mm EDO (Tamron Di re-badge). Click for larger version on flickr. Hoping to get some feedback.

Thanks for looking.

well done mate.

They are all great. The only thing that strikes me is with the last one, the 'flash look' is a little strong, and you could have photoshopped the red-eye pretty quickly. I like the second one best.

Thanks a lot for comments. I agree about strong flash in last picture (but he is cute

), may be I should have done a bit of PP.

I rarely use the onboard flash, but when I do I generally use negative flash exposure compensation and use the flash only for fill. If you want to get into using flash, I'd recommend getting a hotshoe flash that can rotate and bouncing the flash off the ceiling and walls or using a flash diffuser.

Thanks for the suggestions str8talk83. Will certainly try -ve compensation. Hopefully I will receive my 360FGZ very soon - purchased from another member here.
