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 -

I have read a bit about LightSphere and similar products. Sounds quite
interesting.
You can also check out David Ziser's blog - he's a quite successful
photographer in the Cincinnati area and has some good tutorials.

Thanks for the links.
Nice family portrait - it's hard to get one with everyone's eyes
open, especially when you're working with a little one.
No kidding. That was the best of about 108 exposures. :-)

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. :-)
