With the caveat that I know only a teeny bit about flash issues, and even less about digital generally or the *istD specifically, I'll agree with Paul WRT which of the images looks best to me. The last one seems overexposed. The bright side of her face seems a bit burned out, and the bright spots in the background are really distracting. #1 has the best skintones, and #2 has the best (least obtrusive) background. Again, I don't know anything about digital, but wouldn't it be possible to do something with those two in PS or whatever to bring the brightness up a bit? I would think that would bring better results than working with #4. But, again, I really don't know what I'm talking about... <vbg> cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
