as a on-camera speedlight, since it is a knockoff Bower. But at least I am only out 45 bucks and IT IS a large,
shoe-mount flash. But I sure wasn't trying to criticize your TECHNIQUE, and I think that's what I read back.
I just wanted to express my love for natural light. But since you are lucky enough to have a captive model,
keep on practicing. I might do that at Christmas.

I didn't take it as criticism at all Brad, if anything I need a lot of it. This speedlite just puts off SO much light and I'm still trying to get the settings on it figured out. Between the camera flash settings and settings on the speedlite itself, I'm kinda just testing and finding my way as I go. I need to just take some time, and shoot with it over and over again until I start to figure it out. I shy away from using it since it seems to be too much most of the time.
Feel free to lend any advice you have ANY time. I love your photos and always welcome input from good photogs.
