5Dii Skateboarding with flashes! C&C welcome.

First time getting to use my new flash stands, and my sigma 15mm.
I like the out come I just wish I had a 3rd flash or could get my shadow out, oh well!
Flash #1 camera right, 430exii, 7ft up, 1/2 power, 24mm.
Flash #2 Camera front, 430exii, behind hubba silhoutting skater, 1/1 power, 24mm.
I'm still learning a LOT about lighting, any tips?

nice, but i think i'd crop out the shadow of the camera

I agree with Rick. The shadow takes away from the coolness of the shot.

You have a PM.

I would have to edit the shadow out, if I cropped the shadow out it would completely ruin the photo.

I'll be sure next time to make sure there is no shadow in the shot!

The flash in back could be a bit lower power, maybe put a gel on that one. The flash from the front could be directly over your position to eliminate your shadow.

What exactly would the gel do? and I couldn't move the with out getting destroyed on accident.

Add color, like blue or purple.
