Holiday snapshots with OCF triggered by on camera flash

I mounted an old Nikon SB flash with a Fong tupperware diffuser 6 ft on my left at 45 deg angle to the subject with a peanut photocell trigger, then used the 430EXII with a diffuser swiveled towards the peanut,,,appreciate any C&C

The face and background are over-exposed. If you shot in RAW you might be able to salvage that by selectively lowering the exposure in these sections.
And it needs some straightening. The lady is leaning to the right.

thanks, I will check the other shots with darker exposures. I noticed the lean too and failed to adjust; will do it now...I am trying to learn as much before office work interferes with this hobby

quick fix using smugmug...but I get the points...will it help in the future if I leanr to interpret histograms?

That certainly will help you a lot. Not only in the PP phase but also while shooting: with the histogram on the LCD of the camera you can see immediately if there are blown highlights or blacks that should not be there.

Try to get a good raw processor (suppose you got DPP but the Photoshop one - ARC - or the Lightroom one is a lot better)

I have not done raw, I may try it tomorrow...I have an old photoshop. You comments are very helpful and I appreciate it much.
off topic- what do the red letters in the equipment line on the signature mean?

RAW shooting gives you a lot more flexibility in post processing your images. Once you learn how to use it you'll love it!

The L in the signature means the same thing as the L in your signature. Just because the L lenses have a red ring I (and some other posters) use red to accentuate that.
