I've always been a big fan of using fill flash with my underwater fashion and glamour photography. Fill flash gives a great pop to the face and gives clothing nice definition. Here are two shots that were taken just minutes apart - one with and one without flash. Which one do you like best?
Your flash is too close to the camera. Therefore, it does not look as soft as that without flash
Beautiful picture. I prefer no flash as well when I shoot unless I'd like little more define and harsh light.
