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
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.
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.
