Wow. The eyes are amazing and really dominate the pic. Do they look like that in real life or was this some processing artifact?
So far as flash. My view is it has it's place, but as you allude, needs judicous use.
Cheers

Hi Stubs, No mate thats her eyes, she has big ones and yeh all i did was adjust curves, usm and resize for web.
I am not a flash lover it looks ok to me but then i am no pro or used to looking at images with using flash, oneday i might get a SB800 to try Matt says is a good thing but more lens lust first.

May I suggest an image of only her face and no background. Her eyes are compelling.

As an asian, I'd kill for eyes like that!
As for the flash use, I'm a firm believer that appropriate use of the flash will render it invisible and even enhance the 'naturalness' of the final image, much like optical filters and the such.
