I like the deapth of this image and the triagular composition. The colors are rich, which I like to see in my images. Was that diffuser panel the one favored by Zuikoheads around the world . . . a plastic milk jug?

Exposure is spot-on, even more impressive that it was flash. And very pleasant to look at Kodachrome hues rather than Velvia (for a change).

The diffuser is a piece of foam core board that the light bounces off of. It's the flash setup on Camzilla.
