Any Speedlight Strobists around?

One of the reasons I first bought a Nikon DSLR was the CLS system. To this day I thank them for making it so awesome. 
I made this topic for everyone to share their creative lighting experiments if they have any. They photos don't have to be as good as Joe McNally's, so don; be shy.
I'll start first. Here is a shot I took a few years ago using powerful noon sunlight and a full power SB-800 with no modifiers.

Anyone else care to share?

Yeah that is a nice fun shot there Ernesto.
I have a couple of speed lights, but do not use them as much as I used to. I need to start playing with them again.

You should. A large part of my pro work was created with Speedlights.

  • I shoot with 10 SB800's with Pocket Wizard TT5's. Did my entire night Maleficent shoot with speed lights. Here's an example...

I think you've done a great job with the lights and the building and ground, but she's kind of lost in all that. And being dressed in black doesn't help. Except for the model, everything is great.

I think you kinda missed the point.

I was guessing that the point was to create a properly exposed image with speedlights. If so, then in my opinion the image was successful on some levels.
