Carole the only problem is the foreground lighting of the cake. A judicious crop off the bottom will produce a better balance of light and emphasize the face without losing the candle colors. -tv
Thanks Rod and Tom. I tried to do this in natural light without the flash but I think a faster lens would have worked better and I think my WB might have been set on Auto and I should have set it for fluorescent. :-( CJ

I think I would like to see a softer warmer glow on her face maybe it's the high Iso that's adding a bit of hardness there. Happy burfday to Clare anyhow:-)

Guess I spoke too soon. Nice combination of lighting. I like the glow & (lack-of) focus on the face.
