 This is what I probably should have entered in the behind contest. The gerbera was in a glass bottle and lit with four clamp lamps...2 each with a 100w halogen bulb pointed down from above the shooting area...and 2 each with a 120w halogen flood lamp pointing up on either side of the subject to a piece of white poster board over the shooting area. I sat below the shooting area on the floor and shot with the camera on tripod and manual remote.

You never cease to amaze me with your florals Robert.
You are a master of lighting on flowers, and know how to capture one's attention.

Amazing. Love the curls (very tender and loving looking) and the POP of the yellow against the dark BG.

amazing use of lighting to show textures of the petals. The curly petals and the colors are exquisite.

This is so utterly stunning and breath-taking. When I opened the thumnail, I was shocked at the detail. It looks more realistic than reality itself. I don't know how you did it, but this is absolutely glorious.
