Snake portraits

[doenoe]

I wanted to play with my Cactus trigger again and this time my petsnake Spot was the volunteer. I used to flashes: speedlite 430EX on the left of the snake and a slave flash on the right, behind me. Both the the flashes had a piece of white paper stuck to them too difuse the light (i lost my Lumiquest softbox in the zoo, have to order a new one soon)
This was just a test again and i see some things i could have done different, but im pretty happy with these:
#1

#2

#3

#4

Thanks for looking

Some pretty cool shots! The lighting looks really good, I especially like the dof on the last two.

Amazing shots. Can you explain to me what a 'cactus trigger' is, or give me a link to somewhere with info on it? Thanks.
