Hi Mark,
I can't consciously remember having used flash on the second and third shot, 
Tarek was sitting in front of a window and it was dark outside,Diana was lit 
from behind by halogen spots reflecting off a white canvas.The other 
lighting 
was halogen spots recessed in the kitchen ceiling above the table, all that 
plus 
a whole bunch of candles on the table.
I might consider an off-camera flash but I hardly ever use flash for my 
usual 
subjects and E-TTL flashes are neither the cheapest nor the most compact of 
equipment around, but thanks for the advice - it's already archived in my 
tips 
and tools file.
Cheers
Douglas
