First Indoor Portraits w/XT

[pc411guy]

Need C&C for one of my first indoor attempts. Not at a point financially where I can afford a speedlite or studio lighting (alienbees once I can :D)

Used 3 GE Reveal 100watt lights in cheapie clip on aluminum worklamps. Used 18-55 kit lens w/ onboard flash exposure 0.
ISO 400
f/5.6
55mm
Shutter 1/125

This is straight out of camera without any P&P. Any tips or suggestions are very much appreciated!

Showing up on my side - it's a direct link from imageshack. Is anyone else having a problem seeing it?

I can see it fine.

Sometimes sites I don't visit often time out the first time I visit them in a while, I can see it now too.

Nice photo :) I might try a reflector to lighten under the chin, and maybe i'd make the left side of her face lighter (ie a larger ratio not photoshop). It looks well exposed, there are no obvious highlights and the white ballance looks good. Nice bokeh too :)

i think the top of her head and the background need some light.. am i right or do i have this whole lighting thing wrong?
