Some excellent suggestions from Paul...You can get rid of the yellowish
cast by adding some blue. On my monitor it also looks a little dark so
I'd have to lighten it for my system - YMMV.
Other options for single flash could include some sort of light modifier
on the flash itself. Paul has shown some excellent work using both
LumiQuest and LightSphere products.
I've had some good luck going the cheap route using this -

photographer in the Cincinnati area and has some good tutorials.

Nice family portrait - it's hard to get one with everyone's eyes open,
especially when you're working with a little one.

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. :-)
