Thanks Jim. But I did not shoot in RAW.
I guess next time I should if I think it might need some extra work.
Thanks Julie. The dog (Raven) just seems too black for the rest of the scene to me.
I thought maybe I should have set the flash - or + to get a more even color.



Hi Loueen
I'm new here and I shoot mostly indoors, but I think you've got a nice balalnce here between flash and ambient light. I think he looks shiney because your fill flash picked up the highlights in his coat - and with black dogs we're not used to getting that shadow detail outdoors.
Maybe burn in the edges of the background (a little vignette) to give it a little depth? Otherwise, I'd say you have a nice flash portrait here!
