2 flashes over piano and chess players

On the first and second pictures my wife was holding the 430 at the right only with the Stofen. It returned a good light, not harsh. A moved a bit up or/and down to hide the second flash behind her head.
It turned out to be a good shot.:D I do like it. You ?

On the second picture we can see the flash on the piano. Not good. During the shot - I made 8 shots in this position in total - I was aware of this problem and also of it's reflexion on the black cover of the piano.

On the third picture I asked someone to shoot while I was holding the flash as you can see. Even behind my friend the 430 worked. Good. The infrared must have reflected on the walls.
The 580 was over a cupboard some 90 degrees at camera left and it worked !

On the last picture I was holding the flash with my left hand.

All shots in Manual mode
However I still show you one more. The group of friends looking at the photo albums. 350 D + 16-35 + ST-E2 + 430 EX + 580 EX II. Camera on the chess table.
