Throwing the Bird Seed...

Here's a pic from a recent wedding that I liked. It is of the couple leaving the church while the guests toss bird seed at them. It was obviously dark outside so my only light was onboard flash. Comments welcome and appreciated

I really like this pic, it's a great capture.

Great expressions; they're obviously enjoying themselves even as they duck!

Was your flash perhaps pointed up a bit? Looks like there's a bit of light falloff at the bottom.

Very nice capture! not bad for the POP-UP flash!

I think the flash picked up the seed in a nice shot here...

That's cute! The pop-up flash isn't always bad.

It actualy looks like snow! Nice pic - just a shame they are hunching their shoulders a little (I guess to avoid bird-seed down their necks!)

Thanks for the comments thus far I originally posted this in the "people" section and I was wondering what happened to it.....I guess a mod. decided it fit better here. Anyways, I was a bit vague when I said "on-board flash". By onboard flash, I meant my 580 with the camera, not the pop-up.

The flash was mounted on a bracket above the camera and due to the fact that I was so close to them when this pic was taken, it did have some fall off towards the bottom. Plus, the angle of her dress in the lower left corner also creates the effect of more light fall off or vignetting. I could've tried to "fix" it in PS but I actually thought the effect worked well here.
