Duh, because Tendou would never do something like that :lol

Seriously though, I think it looks good.

So far, the first one looks more natural. I get what you're going for in the second shot, though: I think Tendou also needs to be in motion for that one, with appropriate posture and head position.

They're both great shots, however.

Yea I only changed Kagamis pose and left Tendou unchanged. I tried a bunch more trying to get it to work, and most of it is my own inability to get it working, but I think theres something about the Kabuto SS hips that make it slightly awkward too. I just gave up and decided to commit sudoku

You committed a numeric puzzle?

Preeeeetty sure he's making a joke in the vein as many humourous mispronounciations of foreign words.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he meant Harry Carry.

Like most people, I think it looks great! But I think I get where you are coming from about trying to make look more natural. I don't really know how I'd do it but maybe if both were in a slight walking pose might improve it? Also, I'm curious, from the Flickr page it shows your camera settings for the photo at f/10 with a shutter speed of 1/200 at 100 ISO. How do you get the photo so clear? When I go down to 100 ISO and f/7.1 I need shutter speed at 1/100 or slower to get a bright enough photo.

I currently have Siguard on the way and I'm waiting to see if Marika gets discounted more on NY but for now the two Energy riders I have from Gaim:

Oh, so the EXIF data is a little misleading because it only shows camera settings but not light settings. I use two flashes off camera so you only need to shoot at your cameras maximum sync speed (mines 1/200). The flashes fire at a very high intensity for a split second, but the trade off is you can't see what your image is going to look like until after you take it.

Ah I figured. I want to get into external flashes but unfortunately my camera doesn't have the ports for them. It'll be something I keep in mind when I decide I want to upgrade. Haha.
