Nice shot and a nice looking family! The lighting of your spouse and progeny
looks good, but the light on you has that bounced-flash look.
Assuming that you were using wireless flash, was the pop-up flash set to
"master" ("on") or "controller" ("off")? It's the second-to-last item on the
last screen of the K10D Custom menu. I've found that the combination of
"master" mode and RAW produces the best results.
