I came up with this idea considering how I learned. I spent time scouring the internet seeing how people did their lighting. The strobist flickr group does a good job of explaining it in the descriptions. So for us in the lighting forum to learn each other techniques and equipment used I thought this would be a good thread to try. You can ask the photographer questions on their shot and techniques, and make comments about the photo and ways to improve or suggestions. The only rules are to include your data as in shutter speed, iso, aperture and focal length, flash setup including what type of flash power levels and what light modifiers you used. This is so we all can learn from each other. You can also take a picture of your lighting set up also.

I would also recommend building a diagram of the shot using the free lighting diagram creator.

Here I will start.
