That looks a lot better IMO.

Now that I see the greyish tint in the other one, I completely agree with you.

Single 430EX bare flash to the right. 2. Mom and son. 430EX bare on the left. Both are nice shots, but both are overexposed, tone down the exposure or use some kind of modifiers at least to softening the light from the flash, avoid to use bare as much as you can for these type of shots.

I dunno, but the clothes seems lack of details, even the first one the skin seems unnatural color at glance almost to the left side of his face. Galleries:

But it certainly seems a bit bright to the eye. It makes the skin seem unnatural. Nice shots though. It's not just visual. I checked the shot in Photoshop and looked at the numbers. There is a loss of detail and some clipping in the whites and the facial mask histogram shows some overexposure. Robert

Minor issue to sort out  New to this game and photography in general.Its alright, you will have time to learn more then do great photography sooner or later, just keep shooting and practice more, and we are here to help you as we were needing help before and everyday, my advise is that you start to read more about light and exposure, this will help you to improve your photography no doubt, as we all want to understand and learn about lighting as one so important thing in photography.
