Quick shoot at the Capitol

They guys wanted to get together for some photographic practicionation (i just made that up).  We ended up at the Capitol and though I was not particularly "feeling it" I found an angle and wanted to try some strob shots and here are the results.  The color version looks so-so but I feel it says more in black and white...what do you think?

Strobist info:  three speedlights (sb800, sb600, sb28)

1. Key camera left on a stand and snooted at 1/8 power
2. Fill on a VAL at camera right and in close at 1/32 power
3. Rim light on stand high behind subject at full power
