Aperture: f/8.0
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/13

Originally I tried this shot using a diffuser propped up against a window for lovely even light but this reshoot was setup at night using a 500w lamp behind the diffuser and a tripod with the D200 in mirror up mode.

A few changes in Photoshop, brightened the focus area, cleaned some dusty bits, bumped up the exposure/saturation, USM, added border, done.

Very nice setup here. I like the back lighting you've used here my only one suggestion would have been to bounce just a little bit into the center of the flower to light up. Nothing to knock points off for. Well done.

This picture is beautiful. There is a good use of space. Also it has a nice range of values. The yellow puts emphaisis on the middle of the flower. The only down sde is the border.

white can be such a harsh hard colour, but here you have managed to make it soft, whilst still being sharp. the curved of the petals really make teh center yellows pop. very good job 10

white is not a color, since it has no hue.
