Can you modify your lights somehow, that is, make the beam softer so that the shadows aren't as sharp? I'm thinking about the way the shadows look behind those cool figurines on the shelf, and the shadow behind you. The processing helps a lot in this regard though. I tried diffusing that light (SB800) for about an hour and couldn't get it better than this. I ended up thinking that I like the shadows (at least of the one dragon on the shelf). The other shadow (by the poster) I managed to almost get rid off by moving the flash (SB600) away more and having both a homemade stofen type diffuser and bouncing it of the ceiling. I thought that maybe a light from the bottom behind the couch would help, and I put a cheap 500W work light there to test, but it just made things weird so I removed it.

Thanks... yeah, it's also a matter of taste, because the shadows above actually do look pretty neat. :)

Outstanding. The composition, lighting and whole thing is really pleasing to look at. I get the "scotch" theme too. ;~D
