The only difference in the two is the direction the flash was pointed.... this is fresh batteries, and those were my first two shots of the afternoon Jenn, gone back to novice photographer...

You were at ISO1600, f/7.1 and 1/160th of a second... 1/160 is good, no issues there f/7.1 ... good amount of DOF, might not be needed - maybe f/5.6 would have been fine ISO1600 ... NOPE. I bet you could have dropped that to ISO200 or ISO400 and gotten better looking photos. When you are in manual mode with a Canon flash (and Sigma's E-TTL flash) the flash will produce the power needed to get as close to the proper exposure. Of course there are limits - you can't be at 1/250 @ f/22 ISO100 and expect a 430EX to light the subject. When you are at ISO1600 - the flash isn't doing that much work... you are mainly seeing ambient light there... grainy ambient light. But at 1/160 @ f/5.6 @ ISO200-400 I would expect the flash to work just fine.... try that on some subjects around the house... D'OH! Didn't look at the EXIF. Scott's on to something here.

I had it on ISO 1600 I suppose because my mind set was that I'm inside... and shutter speeds... but since I was setting that... I shouldn't have needed ISO1600... duh... but I suppose I was a bit distracted... I don't shoot well with minimal distractions... throw in 30 3 & 4 year olds... I'm so not going to think straight!
