The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
The Nikon Creative Lighting System is a complex algorithm that can be used to produce excellent results for scenes lit by multiple flashes. I first used 4 SB-R200 with 3 groups set at +1.00, -1.00, and -1.70Ev. Although exposed properly, some of the highlights and shadows were too crisp and harsh. So I added an SB5000 flash that broadcast its light through the softbox cloth and softened up the highlights and shadows.

Jim, this is a masterpiece of technology and skill! When I first looked at the image, I could not believe how tack sharp and perfectly exposed it was, literally everywhere. After reading the technical details, I get an idea of how you made this happen. I wouldn’t change a thing. I just want to see more images like this. Kudos!
Very nice, Jim. Perfect exposure, though I could see getting a tad more directional with the flash settings to get a touch more shadow definition, but that’s just my personal taste.
Gorgeous! I love the detail here – great mix of stacking and lighting!! Like @Dennis_Plank, I could go with a little more shadow definition, but definitely artist’s choice!
