Intermediate Flash Photography - Indoors

We've been a bit delinquent posting pictures from our photography classes. I'm not sure why. Anyway, these were from my flash photography class. The last assignment was a focus on indoor flash photography, balancing the flash with the ambient light.

Direct Light:Bouncing Flash off (our new photo-friendly white!) Ceiling:Bounce:Fill Flash (off camera with my assistant Kevin's help):I thought these were all just OK ... until I saw my classmates' efforts. I don't want to brag but, compared to them, I rocked it. The instructor did say that the first one of Riley was out of focus, but I totally reject him on that.
