Went to Wales today with my wife for a bimble round Afan, I took the camera and remote flash stuff and ended up with these. Looking at them I think I need to turn down the flash 1/2 a stop or so? Any C&C??

This shot was taken with the camera upside down so the ST E2 transmitter could fire under the woodwork to the flash on the otherside!

Personally I don't care for the distortion of wide angle lenses. Also, where is the color, needs some saturation.

Yup Whites level, Flashwise I was using a Canon Speedlite 430EX off the camera. As said above I think it needs to be turned down a little though or maybe I'll try a diffuser next time?

Colour? I've added saturation and to add anymore it looked too Photoshopped and false. In my opinion of course:-)

Thanks for the comments.
