Flip

I've always thought that the blur improved this shot, but someone told me they'd like it better if it were sharper. Opinions?

I don't really see a lot of blur in this picture, however it does look a little soft. It looks like you pre focussed on her face before she flipped, and the sharpest point of focus fell on her dress near the bottom. The one thing that does bug me a bit is the direct flash blast. It wiped the detail out of her face. If all you have is the pop up, you can still play with it by using business cards to bounce it, or some other kind of paper to diffuse the light a little. It's not easy, but it's not impossible either. That way her head will maintain form and not look so 2 diminsional.
That's just a taste thing for me though.
