Try to shoot RAW. Then, white balance will NEVER be a problem. It is MUCH easier to correct with a RAW image.

Thanks for all the advice.. however I do actually understand white balance. It's clear I don't understand how to please ppl though. I purposely tricked the white balance in this shot and used a warm up filter on my flash and I add the grain post-production. I just like the old twee look it gave. I have no excuse for the flash mark

... I'll stick to b&w next time!

I like the idea of this shot it's just that it's very grainy and a little OOF.

The white balance in this photo is way off and the graininess is very distracting. I obviously don't know what camera you are using, but check the manual to see if you can adjust the white balance setting. Typically, there is a setting for indoor lighting (sometimes called tungsten or represented by a light bulb symbol). In that setting, you will get much more natural colors.

The lighting just kills this sweet shot. The flash can only do so much.
2 things that may help this photo. A dose of noise removal and turn into a b@w so the flash colors are not so harsh.

Golly - how 'bout that white balance! Definitely meets the challenge, though.

Too grainy and yellow to be really good... and the flash mark on her cheek distracts me.

Although a bit yellow and grainy...you've captured a genuine moment...

Nice image, there seems to be a yellow hue to the image & lots of nosie

Nice feeling and great warmth between the two. How did you manage the faded 70's print look.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

A little on the warm side with a little too much noise.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

It is a very noisy image...and the color seems a bit off. I am sure you have some comments about that already though.

white balance and exposure needs to be readjusted.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice shot. I d prefer a black and white or a sepia tone rather in post processing.

Good capture the exposure is strange.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Grainy and noisy, not to mention the color cast are major issues with this photo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/26/2008 06:53:00 PM
IMO there is too much yellow and grain
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/26/2008 05:12:17 PM
Definitely conveys a sweet genuine intimacy. I love the expressions and the chemistry between these two. Personally I don't find the grain and the orange tones to be pleasing and IMO they take a lot away from this beautiful shot.

I dont really like the color. But their expressions are really good.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Very nice pose, but it's very noisy and needs better lighting. It has sort of a whiterook look to it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great expressions. The yellow cast and noise are overpowering.
