I'm experimenting with multiple flash at the moment, would love some feedback on the following:

Excellent work! I love the backlight and how it shines through their hair. Nicely composed, well timed and looks very natural. B&W works very well here also.

Love the experiment with backlighting however watch out for your backgrounds

The faint light caught by the wardrobe in the room behind the boys is a bit of a downer in an otherwise top pic.

I'd turn the back light down a smidge and move the front a foot to the left (or right!).
Other than that, you've captured a fantastic moment and created a beautiful image!

I have to say that I really like this image. While it is set up the actual captured moment is very spontaneous. I like that! The lighting is also very good and aside from taking about half a stop of power out of the back light I would be reluctant to touch the setup. It reminds me of some of the classic lit images of the 1950's. Well done that person!

Thanks for the comments. The background is actually a doorway into the kitchen, the reflection is of a bar-stool. When I had the door closed I was getting hot spots from it.
