Thanks. I was helping a friend shoot his first wedding. After getting key shots I started goofing around turning the flash head in all types of angles and directions. I was surprised by the results and I learned something that night. All the articles and tutorials written by the flash masters that I have been devouring were not kidding. Image Editing OK

 Kiera by MiqsPix , on FlickrMy first shots with my Canon EOS 60D and Nissin speedlite flash with diffuser bounced off the ceiling in a home studio set up. I used my Tamron f2.8 28-75mm lens which the focus and sharpness is excellent. The aperture was set at f2.8 and focus was on the eyes so the image was blurred enough. The final processing was done in Photoshop CS5 to add effects, border and drop shadow.

Sounds like you flash output is pretty high. To get your background even with subject you may want to consider a light meter. If your background is too dark then turn your flash off and meter it to taste. Turn the flash on and start with FEC at about -1. No umbrella then see if you can at least get the flash higher off your camera. Bracket maybe.  Shutter 1/640, F7.1, Exposure compensation -1 1/3, FEC -2/3. 5D and 24-105 lens - bracket used.
