If you can't get it right with multiple flashes, used off-camera, go back to basics with just one. Look at what it's doing and change your position to use the effects to your advantage rather than trying to fight them.

I think you have hit the nail on the head with that Duncan. Work within the limitations of the kit and available location. Also the time you have spend in preparation really stands out in the final result.
I bet you really enjoyed the beer when you finally got the pic in the bag
. An excellent job and well worth the effort you went to to get it.
Thanks for posting your behind the scenes. Very interesting.
