Yes
Hi!

Your shot came out better than mine (overexposed and a cluttered background).

I tried to use the flash (and also block it) to trick my "auto" camera into a fast shutter. I set exposure to -2.0 and still got harsh lighting, oh well! :-) I fixed it as best I could in photoshop, but still some detail is washed out. I sometimes try to use my body to cast a shadow on the subject, but I was afraid it would fly away. Darn sun!
