Great work, Grekwood :D That does indeed look really very good! Your painting seems a lot better than it has in the past, and the Stargate itself is really very good.
A couple of your shots could have done with a smaller aperture (higher f/number). Ideally you want the background blurry but all the figures in focus. I'm particularly thinking of the diagonal shot you took at f/4.
After you take a shot use the review and zoom display on your camera to check depth of field.
Thanks for your comment..... yeah, i had a lot of trouble with photos, i took 120 something, and it took me all afternoon lol,
still getting use to it. This was the first time i had used my new light which i bought last week. so i didn't use the flash for once.
on these i just used the auto setting and macro setting on my camera without playing around with apature etc i wasn't brave enough.... trouble is like you say i couldn't always get it to focus right. Didn't use my light tent, which may have helped. what i have noticed is most pictures seem ok in the view finder but when uploaded to the PC they don't look so good.
yeah i need to work on that, i've just really figured out how the auto setting works so i've yet to play around with the aperture settings, but i agree, thats the thing i need to work on.
Stargating across the universe ...

That really is rather nice! Very impressive.

Really good, could be better
The lighting is actually very good -it is only our old adversary depth of field on one or two that lets them down.
May I suggest once again that you use Aperture Priority setting rather than Auto and Macro?

yeah i need to work on that,
