Looks good, did the dome eat a lot of light?
It can, but then it does all depend on what angle your flash gun is at really, i'll try and get set up later and take a few alternatives to post, thats if people are interested in this of course

I'd say the first is ok but 2nd blends in to the background a bit, still nice all the same

It does seem to work well for your photos
Was that shot in a close space, I'm very sceptical how they do it in an open space like a church or big hall.

What do you think of this link
It's a snoot but if you mount it like this it's has almost the same effect as an reflector. Probably less effective then so plastic thing indoors but this should work outdoors as well, but I first need to see it though.
The photo of my daughter was with my original setup without the diffuser.
I have often thought about these different snoots and things, not sure really i think i'd be thinking with a reflecter so close to the flash it would be difficult to get a good shot, reflectors like that i'd say need to be off camera and not so direct.

Flashgun was at about 45 degrees, from what i gather the point of the inverted dome diffusers are to bounce off the dome and dispurse the light then back down and out through the sides, i've tried it directly at the subject and also at 90 degrees, 90 degrees was a bit softer and direct was just too much, 45 gave a nice even distribution i found.

Thanks for the comments.
