Yes, a tad. Try bouncing the light off the ceiling for a more pleasing light. Naturally light comes from above so if you bounce the flash off the ceiling then the shadows we naturally see on the face will be in the right places, i.e. under the nose and chin. I hope that makes sense.
Give it a try and see how it looks. Experiment.

Ice driving at 154mph on a Suzuki Hayabusa ~ look whwat spiked tyrs can do! http://www.metacafe.co​m …abusa_speed_wee​kend_2009/ (external link)

170mph on concrete is as fast as I've gone. I do have friends who have fitted turbos and bigger bore kits who reach speeds of between 210-240ish, bloody loons!

I've always had problems with the 1D and flash. I find that going into manual mode (on the camera) brings the best results.

Pete's right, manual mode is the way to go. I hardly ever use manual, only usually when using flash indoors.

As long as the manual mode doesn't result in overexposure, it'll be fine. ETTL will work out the proper exposure.

With Av or Tv mode, I usually end up with the flash blowing things out.

Whoever befriended me on the xbox is no longer my friend.

I've had to create a new live/gamertag to make sure the marketplace works right (once you make a gamertag, you can't change the billing country).

So I've had to start Forza all the way from the start again.

My new Gamertag is TheAperture (naturally).
