IMHO, I didn't get what you are trying to say with that picture

he he ur picture is just picture.. technically says that it follows all the 'geeky' way of taking pivtures..
but htere's no meaning. but i think the 2nd 1 okay loh.. beter if u can get background yang ada org sket..
to show the 'people' side of the picture  nice compo!

There are third party lenses and flashes for Sony as well. For lenses, there are line ups from Sigma, Tamron, and also Minolta (shares the same mount)
The picture above was using a Sigma lens

not a sifu..but this is roughly what i did...i usually would have an objective in my head b4 i shoot..i should know what im trying to tell my viewers first b4 i shoot anything(but of coz there r times when i only do point&shoot type of thingy..especially portrait)..try to plan your shots b4 u start shooting..how the background going to be(try to eliminate unrelated stuff as much as possible)..hows the lighting(play with flashes?use things like table lamp to help?if doing landscape maybe can think of what time of the day would makes the photo better..sky..clouds.. etc etc)..angle..blablabla..

for most of the time..my first try isnt gonna come out as what i expected..try review the shots see where it goes wrong..n try again..

the lighting too harsh... or were you using the camera body flash ?
