You did well in regard to the direction and diffusion of the light. The color cast I mentioned in another post is probably due to bouncing off the mustard colored wall, if that is what you did. Using a piece of white posterboard or a studio umbrella on a stand as a reflector would avoid that. But I think you have a great photo here that would be enhanced by a slight color tweak.

Thanks Paul.

Yes indeed the bounce was off the same colored wall. I didn't have any white poster board on hand but I see what you mean with the slight colorcast.

Thanks all.

Anyone have any tips for this sort of shot with a single flash? I pretty mush just focused on trying to find some way to bounce the light around. Directional flash was a no go in this situation.

First time taking an indoor, primarily flash lit, family portrait for this year's Christmas card. This was with a K10D, a DA 21mm and a 540 flash. To get anything decent I had to bounce the flash off the wall behind the camera. By the way, the blinking red light in wireless remote mode worked well as an entertainment source for the kid. :-)
