This is a shot of my daughter where I am trying to balance natural light with a speedlight. This is my first post and would love to get some feedback.

The photo looks very natural. I love the idea of the background being blurred.

I like it. Very natural. What was your set up?

Thanks for the comments. I am a little new at this. I had natural window light coming from camera left. I then used my Canon Speedlight 580 EX II on camera shooting straight up at the celling. I also pulled out the white catch light flap on the Speedlight. I believe that was the light setup.
