Better with practice: Model of the Year...

Nice portrait of the young lady. It is natural looking, without artificial posing for the camera that she thinks is so far away. But it is in fact up close and personal. I like it a lot.

he used a 550 mounted on a 10D. I have used my D60 wth 550EX w/o any Red-Eye whatsoever. I do have bracket, but I have not used it on my digital cam.

. . . in the meantime consider your subject matter.
Don't mistake resolution as being flattering to anyone's face.
Using a terrible flash to light up the room does not make for a good exposure.
Catchlight in her eyes does not mean red eyes.
Rotate for posting and evaluation . . . best it salon mounted . . .

I agree. A little too much, but hey, it isn't permanent!

I always find myself toggling. That is I apply auto curves, and take it off. Back and forth a couple of times to see if it gets me where I want to go. I find a high % of times I prefer auto contrast or auto color. Some times I simply go to the saturation option, choose R,G,or B and pull one color down or up a bit. PS is powerful. We can always save several versions and view them in a slide show.

I tend to tire of the blue atmosphere we live in and add a little warmth to some shots. The natural amber hue imparted by my Sigma 15-30 is something I like some of the time.
Best,
Robert
 
I have yet to see red-eye with my 550ex mounted on the accessory shoe. I was considering a bracket when I bought my flash, but now I think I'll invest the money in other equipment.

I'm going to buy a 550ex; it seems they are pretty good.. Perhaps a
bracket, too?

I have used the 550EX and still get red eyes. This was using a 200mm lens, at a distance (stage). I suppose the distance kept the angle small, thereby producing the red eyes.
