I love the cold cast the picture gives off. Thanks for the explanation too.

"In a former life", I did sound and lighting for a variety of events, including theater work. My boss knew the tricks of night, cold looks - his old favorite was Rosco 58 I think. He was doing a show once that was being filmed for TV. A runner came in from the TV truck and said "can you back the lights down? it's blowing out our cameras!" - I love how these colors can give such a neat look but the white snow on the rooftops is still white. I carry 58 and 359 normally, on the off-chance that I'll get to do a night look. Unfortunately it rarely works, as it pretty much has to be a daylight-balanced base (for the deep blue to work right) but the ambient has to be dark enough to be below the power of my flashes (which are only passing ~9% through the 359). I think that translates to "ambient has to be 6.5 stops below the flash's full power abilities" - ouch!
We're a Canon/Profoto family: five cameras, sixteen lenses, fifteen Profoto lights, too many modifiers.
