Good job.
Hint: B&H is advertising the 580 EX II for $399. Offer good through Jan 7th.
If I remember correctly, I paid $370 about 2 years ago for mine. It has gone up considerably since then.

thanks. It all depends on how much cash i get for christmas. i may just get a used 550ex to learn from.

Or save yourself a bunch of money and start with a YN 565!

I would have probably moved her away from the tree a little bit to blur the background a touch more. and thrown a reflector off to the side to light up her face. I love the shot.. just think she's too close to the tree.

Youd have change left over too.

Exactly!

I bought a YN-467 a couple of years ago to get my feet wet with speedlites. Still have it & use it often. Even a "cheap" umbrella kit (I still use my Cowboy Studios setup) and some budget triggers are very handy. Sure, I've got more & more-expensive "kit" now - but still come back to the basics all the time!
