Fill flash on a sunny day? Too much light? Wrong gel?

I feel the second shot is excellent and the first shot's background is too dark. The people in the first shot are exposed virtually perfect in my opinion (also not too warm or cool) but the background looks like a severe thunderstorm is overhead at dusk and about to drench them which is probably not the reality of the circumstances.

I'm sure if you were shooting the scene without you in it that you would not underexpose by 2/3. I don't understand why you would think it would be necessary, or even desirable, to underexpose the background under these circumstances. Your flash exposure seems to dead on, but my preference would be to see the background with a normal exposure. Just my 2 cents

I concur.For my taste, the "fill" is too strong, overpowering the ambient light. I prefer fill to just soften the shadows, not eliminate them. barry.lapoint shows a nice example of the technique, but it's your picture; do it your way.
