Playing around by bouncing flash.

So a few weeks ago I was playing around with my new flash after dinner with one of my friends and came up with a few cool shots. Well I finally got around to editing them this week and had one that I really liked and this is it. Was kinda going for the 20s movie star glamour shot with this. Let me know what you think. C&C welcomed and encouraged.

WOW! Excellent work!

A few very minor things that I won't even mention only because I think it adds to the look you were going for. Technology in the 20's wasn't as advanced so I think a "perfect" picture could take some of that feel away.

Thanks everyone for the comments! I am still learning how to properly shoot portraits but I think I have made some real progress in the last few months. This was just something fun to do while I was bored and I really liked how it turned out. Once again thanks for the comments!
