In tune

Although I am having issues with my old Braun flash, I anm happy with a couple of shots. I did darken it a bit but it is still a little washed out.

Hi gravespinner! Welcome to the forums!

A couple of notes:
- Unless I am mistaken, the cute little girl is the subject. Therefore, the stuffed animal is much too large. I'd say either no props or much smaller props.
- The white in her dress is blown out. Not sure if that happened in post or right out of the camera. Maybe try diffusing the flash a bit more for a softer (and likely more even) light.
- The blue background is fine, but the rest of the image shows a heavy blue tint on my monitor.
- Get closer, so we can see the color in those eyes!

You've got a place to start! Keep 'em coming!
