A portrait....
 Exif still embedded - i can't get at it becasue i'm on my laptop! It was taken on my 10D with 50mm f1.8 and flash. I bounced the flash off the ceiling in a pretty dark room. I wasn't trying for anything special, just a nice picture of the cat. I love this photo, i think it's one of the best portraits i've done! Any tips on improvement more than welcome

If it was just a grab shot type of affair where you had a choice of bouncing the flash or pointing it at the cat, then you certainly made the right choice. If you have a chance to get yourself ready at all then reflecting some of that downward travelling light back at the subject will help to brighten up the face, particularly the eyes. You don't need real reflector, anything white will do the job just fine. A towel resting on a bit of card or even just a coulple of cushions would do the job.

I like the shot as is, it has a simple but professional feel to the image. I would do something with the top left hand corner though, clone in some of the colour cast and blurred detail from other parts of the picture to remove the all white triangle that is slightly distracting.
Otherwise very good.

EXIF:
Camera Make: Canon Camera Model: Canon EOS 10D Image Date: 2005:11:18 18:38:31 Flash Used: Yes (Manual) Focal Length: 50.0mm CCD Width: 5.90mm Exposure Time: 0.017 s (1/60) Aperture: f/2.8 ISO equiv: 100 White Balance: Auto Metering Mode: Matrix I think you need more DoF on a shot like this, helps bring more of the cats face into focus. The eyes are fine but because its difficult to make them out I find myself concentrating on the OOF mouth. Minor point.
