I was experimenting on balancing ambient light and flash using my Godox TT685N speed light in a  26" Westcott Rapid Box Octa soft box without the deflector plate. My subject was a flowering plant that was placed in front of a 3'x5' double paned window, the soft box was placed on my right about 3' from the plant while I took the photos maybe 6' away from the plant. Photos were taken with my D7200 and 85mm 1.8G lens while triggering the flash with a Godox X1T trigger. The attached screenshots were edited in LR6 but the original NEF files had the same effects. In the side by side screenshot both photos were taken using auto white balance but on the right I used a golden reflector to the left. The second screenshot doesn't show the effect even though I used the same settings as the others. The only thing different is I refocussed my camera each time before taking the photos. D7200 focus settings are AFC, D9, center point. Is this effect from using 1/80 shutter speed or is it something else?
