No, I don't think a flash was necessary. The light level was pretty low
and a bit on the blue side. I think a little bit of extra contrast
would make a big difference. If you want to brighten them a bit and
move then a little toward yellow that would probably also help. But
they're not daylight balanced pictures... and they don't need to be.
That light has its own useful characteristics.

Yes, you're right. When I reviewed these after returning home I realised that I
should have used the flash at the lowest power setting to as to provide a more sufficient
light spectrum. They came out looking like something out of "The Lathe of
Heaven" where Steve Orr turned everyone into a uniform gray so as to eliminate
racial discrimination.
