Do you have a diffusion dome for the strobe?\

Kind of, the strobe has a diffusion plate that snaps onto the front of the strobe (see photo below)

Were you firing in manual mode or ttl?

I was using Manual, I was chimping after each photo to adjust strobe power. I started at power 6 (max) on the strobe and dropped down to 3 when I was not blowing the highlights.

Not quite sure what to C&C on.

Do you feel the strobe power was still too high and blowing highlights? is the camera angle/position relative to the subject okay for the composition? Ideas on how to angle the strobes to reduce backscatter (i know its tough to tell without seeing the camera set up).

Should I keep practicing and going forward or should I just bin everything and dive without a camera ;-). Okay that last one might be extreme.

I take photos, not particularly good photos, mostly abstract photos. Yeah abstract is what I would call them, you might call them blurry.
