Hmmm...never thought of the leg hair. And yeah I contemplated cloning out the house. Probably would have been easy enough to do. But after messing around for such a long time with stray hairs, I was all cloned out.
I really think the house takes a lot away from the shot. And it's not just that the guy's leg is hairy, it's also that it's where it is. Maybe that's just me.

As for fill flash, on-camera fill can be just fine. Start by toning it down with FEC -1 and fool around with it. This was taken with an on-camera 430EX:

An "accurate" reproduction of a scene and a good photograph are often two different things.

It is an offset applied to the flash amount. On a Canon SpeedLite 550 style, you press the button on the dial and scroll up or down from there.

Ahhhhh...gotcha. I'm still trying to acclimate myself to the different acronyms used for photography and this board. Thanks for clearing that up.
