A friend of mine came over and next thing I know, here I am taking pics of her 9 month old son in the house. Still working on my indoor flash technique - comments and critique.

I'm drawn to #1. The catchlights in the eyes help make the capture.

When he's looking up, there's a feeling of wonderment in his face. Could Santa have just entered the room? Is someone bringing in a really big present?

Keep up work like this and your friend will be coming back for more!

1D-III with stuff to stick on it:
70-200L, 28-70L, 24-105L, 300L, 50, 10-17 fish, 2.0x TC
Image editing OK, encouraged, and expected. Thank you for helping me learn!

Agree...You did notice that the shoes are on the wrong feet...right. :lol:

The first one really works for me, too, for the reasons stated already (and the shoes are not showing, although I think the shoes in the "wrong foot" actually adds to the charm).

It may be a personal thing, but I do prefer a bit larger background light "balls" which you can easily accomplish with some adjustments.
