Subtitled: The Claw!

This is a combination of a reduced flash and a wide-angle lens, which I really like!

As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

Very nice Dave, I do see the "claw", the angle and light makes it look like I'm about to get taken off in it's grasp!

@Tse Min: It's a setting on my menu called flash exposure compensation, you can dial it up or down! Thanks for your comment!
