some constructive critique....

watch your white balance if you can... pay attention to other light sources influencing light and color in your image. i assume your flash was in the hot shoe in your camera?

usually just set your white balance to Flash to properly color your subject.

how high was your ceiling in regards to the bunny? try using your diffuser that came with your flash unit (should have come with a basic diffuser at least) and point the flash head straight up unless there is a wall or wall corner behind you then you can bounce flash if you want.


if you shoot in manual or aperture priority mode with the flash? if manual mode then set your shutter to around 1/60th - 1/80th and ISO to around 400 and white balance to FLASH and your image should have a slightly better true color instead of the warm tones it has now.

if you used the flash off camera then if they came with any gels you can gel your flash head with the color of one of the light sources in the room to help properly balance the white balance of back ground/foregrounds.


play around with different angles of the flash head until you get more comfortable with rooms/walls and the flash so you can attain better results with proper exposure instead of the hot spot on the head of the bunny and a dark spot on the belly.


good luck and keep shooting!
