excellent Weevil, better off shooting Jumpers with your 430ex - ringflash reflection does no favours.

Excellent pictures. The ringflash is a bit too strange for my taste.

Great shots. I agree with 4g63photo. You need to diffuse your ringflash.
edit: I use a diffused speedlite on a DIY bracket. I mistook your MR-14ex for the MT-24 EX which can be diffused. Sorry.

Great shots, we can even tell you had ratio set on the ring light heads. I'd try to clone out the ring hi-lights and see if that works.

There's not a lot you can do to diffuse the ring lite. I tried cutting the bottom of off white plastic milk bottles but keeping than attached to the flash head was a problem.

Great shots. That is why I sold my ring flash and got a 430ex.
