This photo was lit with 3 speedlites. One was in a parabolic umbrella to the camera left, the second one was a barebulb speedlite directly behind her, a little bit above her head, the last light was in a 70x70 softbox to the camera right.

Saw this on the FB thread - really great shot!
Thank you!!
Excellent! This is so good!
Congratulations on making it on phlearns weekend inspiration. That is killer.
Haha, thank you! I wasn't expecting this photo to get this much publicity when I made it.
Awesome shot, Love the lighting, retouching, ...
Thanks! Glad you like it!
Properly done ... awesome work
Thank you, Ferreno!
Solid work
Thank you very much!
Those lights really accentuate the shape of the body. The sprinter's position is perfect. A very good photo indeed.
Was it the barebulb speedlite that also lit the grey background? I see no shadow under her, did you mask it somehow or did the light set do that?
Thank you! Under barebulb I acually meant a speedlite with no modifier. There wasn't acually any background like that in the orginal photo, that was composited in later. The shadows on the ground are however real, the flash was at such an angel that it didn't hit the ground.
Simply put, I want to be able to take photos like this! Well done!
Haha, thank you! Lots of practise and one day you just might :D
Excellent, love the rim lighting, and how she stands out against the background!
Very creative image. Love it!
Light Angles well focused
Wonderful Action Shot!
Amazing freeze of action! The light is so perfect! Beautiful shot in every way!
Brilliant! Well lit and lots of action.
Thank you!
Perfectly nice shot! But I would wish too see a bit different position of her hands, don't you think so?
I don't know how you think about it but in my opinion a bit more light on the feet, especially her left one would be great for making the picutre even better.
Keep going! I like it!
Awesome
