Now I do see your pics Paul. The second pic is not what I'm thinking about. The flash washes out the Tungstein cast very nicely, and mixes good with the natural day light. So I see no problem there. Fine picture BTW.
Nothing wrong about first picture either. Subject is well light, and they pops nicely from the yellow background. But in some situations I want the subject to pop less. I'm not necessarily after a perfect temp mix, but slightly less popped. The gold reflector here http://www.lumiquest.com/lq931.htm. is what made me ask. I was hoping it could give me the "pop less effect" I'm after. I beleave I've got that confirmed. So thanks to all who has chimed in.
