If you want to get rid of that shadow (caused by the lens hiding the light from the flash), hold the camera further away, and zoom the lens in more to frame your shot the same way.

The best tips I can give you are the following:

Use a tripod
proper lighting is a must
learn the settings on your camera and understand what they do
play with these settings and see what differences they make

heheh what can I say, I like growing plants, woodworking, the beach, spending time with my daughter (the butterflies are from a morning trip to the local aquarium in Chatt, TN) and fiance, books, computers, the woods.... I've got a lot of interests, and not nearly enough time for them all. which is why I like taking pictures of things, to remember the times I do have

I'd like to join.
I just bought a low mileage Canon 40d EOS that is in mint shape.
It's my first ever semi-pro camera and I think it will be fun to learn about photography.

I also have a Canon Powershot SX230 HS that is pretty cool.

Haven't identified this woodpecker yet, I think it is a Red Headed something.

I found the woodpecker because I was trying to track the beaver that did this to the tree. They are not common in my area and I was surprised to see the tree like this with fresh scat or poop around it.

Then to my amazement I found a porky pine by a tree and began to sneak in for better angles... after slowly doing this and getting some good shots, I found out it was dead. But, the effort was there lol and the pictures look like it is just lounging.

Then I saw something funny going on behind me. Love was in the air.

The nature walk was winding down, but not before I had some pretty ladies model for me.

Yeah, right. It's only $35k.

But, but, but, mooooommmmm . . . it shoots 100fps in 5k video.

Sexy tear-down shots

Ya which is why I was pretty sure I wasn't supposed to take you seriously. If you had a 2011 rig with dual 590's then that might be a different story
