I wonder why you did not complete the effect by placing a 5th Speedlight inside the fridge's real light fixture. As it is now it looks obviously in the 'off' state. I am surprised you omitted this since you could have easily accomplished the task by disassembling the fridge to uncover the guts of the fixture, changing the fixture acrylic diffuser to a larger one to accommodate the Speedlight, rigging a radio trigger inside the roof of the fridge to make sure the Speedlight triggers in sync and then re-assembling the fridge, all of which you could have quickly accomplished in no more than 16 hours of work, not counting the time required for the reverse process to retrieve your Speedlight and the radio trigger after taking the picture. Come on, it is not like you needed to truck the fridge over to a lake and build a special table in the middle of the lake. I am afraid you are beginning to slack. Congratulations on getting the blue despite the blatant omission, but please try harder next time ;-)

This is a great image, as are most of yours. I really like the lighting in this one. I think you used 4 lights but I am not sure, I hope you will enlighten us with a diagram at the end. My guess is that your main light is a snoot above and to the right of the camera. The second (lighting the figure) is below the edge of the photo and in front of the subject, probably also a snoot. A third one inside the fridge behind the figure and a fourth one behind the fridge. How close am I? (10)
