Well, technically 3 days before Christmas, but a family dinner nonetheless :)

Yeah, I'm guessing that's due to the flash being too close, with ETTL factored in. I tried playing with levels a bit, but it didn't improve things much.

Very cute child. And not too bad a photo. A bit bright on the forehead but you caught some beautiful eyes.

Great capture of the eyes, and as everyone says, the light was to strong (perhaps to close)

Direct flash close up is the problem. You have the 580EX . . . bounce it. If you're aiming straight up, pull up the catchlight card and watch what happens. To achieve your best results though, you need to practice shooting both camera and flash in manual mode. The ETTL doesn't seem to do quite as good of a job as what you can do in manual.
