1 skate shot

melon transfer taken with kit lens, st-e2, 430ex, and 580ex

Looks like he is skating on the moon. I like it.

Good Composition.

Thank you. Anybody have any negative things to point out?

Personally I prefer shots where the subject is a little larger in the frame.. it's kind of hard to get any expression from or "feel" for the person when they're so small.

I do like the moon effect, though, that's cool

I have a couple suggestions that you might want to think about. First, a tighter crop to cut out some of the empty space, kind of like this...

you've got 4 flashes, two usable with the ST-E2 transmitter, why not use them all? you could have even used four with your radio slave getup (if it reaches that far). you could have used light from behind him on top of both humps and another coming from the left.

I would, but the st-e2 won't trigger the radio slaves

Yeah I know, sorry I must have got conflicting there. You could have either used both of your Canon flashes with the IR transmitter OR used the 285HV's with your "ghetto radio slave setup". I look forward to see more though.
