Thanks Jeff, I really liked what you did. Even the tilt. I would have never thought of that. The picture really pops.

Thanks zebthepilot, I have to learn control the flash and get it to do what I want it to do.

And Chip, thank you so very much for the detailed suggestions. They do make a lot of sense. But I'm not sure I clearly understand what you mean by the following ...

5) to my eye, the more light from a flash dominates the ligting of a shot, the cooler the photo will look.
And could you actually tell from previewing in the camera that the image has a blue tone. Maybe .... I should go back and try it.

6) if the shot looks to "flashy" or blue, use the flash compensation to turn down the power on the flash, or maybe try a smaller aperture (with a correspoding increase in ISO or decrease in shutter speed).
Thank you. The weather is looking good again this weekend, so crossing my fingers that my 2 brats will let me practice my photography on them.
