Description
We're having a blizzard tonight, and I wanted to try this technique since...well, forever. My husband kindly modelled with me for this shot. I don't have a slave flash or anything, just my other camera and my main flash. So, since I only have one tripod as my other is broken, I used a garbage can flipped upside down to hold the camera with the flash. My 5DMKII sat on my tripod. I set them both to 10 second timer and adjusted the exposure so I could have a little bit longer shutter speed in case our timing was slightly off. I got him to press down the shutter of the 5DMKII, and a split second after, I pressed down the shutter of my 50D which was holding my 430EX flash, and then we ran to get in position! The slight orange hue is due to the lights of town bouncing back off the clouds and on to the ground 
As always, thank you for taking a look. I appreciate it

Hey guys, was this featured somewhere? I don't understand where all the views from the past few days have come from.

Overall Vision Originality
Technique ImpactVery well done. It is not often that you can get a night shot where the shadows are flowing towards the camera itself. The shadow itself draws your eye into the image towards you and your husband.
Overall, the emotion in the shot is truly remarkable.
With the falling snow within the image itself, there is a few areas where it could have been touched up, looking at the snow around your husband's hoody. The way that the light from the flash hits the snow, it makes it look incomplete, but raw. Out of everything else within the photo, that would be my only negative critique (which I'd consider to be more constructive criticism), and even then, it looks like you had a wrestling match in the snow before the image was taken, and does not take away from the image at all.
