@gsb - There's a bit of vignetting in the image applied in pp and a touch of shadows/highlight and yes some fill flash :).
@Brent - The sigma is optically great, wonderful build quality and an excellent bargain, I bought it as an alternative to the kit lens.
Here's some additional info on it -http://www.photozone.de/8Reviews/lenses/sigma_1770_2845/index.htm

And it's always humid here ;).

Very creative Jammy! The scene just has the look of a very humid day? Noticed the lens you are using with your new camera, how is it working out for you? Looks like it covers a great range for a walk around lens (even has macro) and is reasonably fast too.

This has some interesting exposure, is there some fill flash in there or a couple of differnetly exposed layers on a raw shot. Great pic

Good work Jammy! You have the hand positioned well around the sun, nice clouds and the flash worked well. What is that thing on the right - your finger? CJ

Great idea and well done! Hope your retina is still intact!

Cool. I like the exposure.
ctfchallenge06-Feb-2007 12:56
Yeah I did rod, was trying to balance the foreground and background exposures by fill flash.
Don't think I quite achieved it, but it's better than a silhouette alone...

Nice one Jammy well done mate:-) Did you use fill flash on your hand?

Great creative picture :)

Imaginitive, funny, and carried out rather well. You have a nice "dynamic range" here with the brialliance of the sun, the blues in the sky, and you still managed to light the back of the hand nicely too. Well done.
