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 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.

Subject: PESO: Family Christmas Portrait
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. :-)
