My daughter in "princess mode" with a wad of Monopoly money.
Shot was taken with tripod, external flash (Olympus FL-36R) bounced off ceiling, and an exposure bias of -1eV. It's also my first use of a simple home-made backdrop which I ought to write up sometime...
Post-processing was done in GIMP and consisted of: colour balance (mainly adding a little red), value curve tweak to boost midtone contrast, rescale to 640x480 and USM (3px radius and 0.45 with threshold zero).

I would like this better if the shadow wasn't behind her, perhaps I would move the backrop further away from her body or use a fill light to get it out?
