Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong to get such funny almost metalic tones in this picture. Did I just overexpose? It was a cloudy day, My 580ex was on ETTL should I have just done without it? I can't quite figure it out. It is something that is happening a lot with a lot of different backgrounds, but always with the flash. Please help!

Did you change the white balance before taking the image?
You can fix the problem quite easily in Photoshop by playing around with curves.

Yes, you did overexpose many parts of the pictures, like the woman's vest, the couple's faces, the dog, etc. Maybe you should have dialed in a little bit of minus EC and minus FEC if you really wanted to use the flash. I'm sure the flash didn't help any in that picture and probably just made it worse.
