Looking to get better, so honest opinions, please. Just be gentle! 
Thanks for looking. |
As Jfranco said, the off camera flash is overpowering the flash on camera. Swap ratios AND move the off camera flash further back. It's too much to the side. You don't want to see any light spill on the side of the nose.
The other problem with using on camera flash is the pin point spot of light in the pupils. That is a dead giveaway that an on camera flash was used.
Was that gentle enough?
