Thanks for the comments. I agree, it's a bit bright. If I had another umbrella, I probably would have used it in the bar. If I had another strobe, I would've used two in the bar. Lighting behind the glass was also my way of incorporating the inevitable glare I was going to get from the two umbrella'd strobes. The scene was set before I got there. Otherwise I probably wouldn't have used that setting -- mostly because of the glass/reflections. I'm glad you like the 1st image. Its amazing how good test shots can turn out. This is probably my favorite test shot of the year: http://mattrothphoto.com/blog/2009/11/baltimore-dc-photographer/warren/ Hey Phil. Thanks for the comments. I agree, it’s a bit bright.

(how did it meter out?) Distracting my eye to the bright object above the women. The first image is devilish... the facial expressions are what carry it- well, with the light of course. The distance from the table for the lady in red, the shadow, the unknowning is what carries her. The handed in image is too bright on the frosted glass for my taste… (how did it meter out?)
