 I'm entering this on behalf of Team Germany at the request of our captain, HeiSch.

I bought a flower. I set up a shot. This is sort of a shot of the setup. I put a mirrored tray on the bathroom sink, with a shaving mirror on the tray. Hopefully for the pedantic, at least one mirror is obvious.

Light is from the window behind the flower, and is being reflected by the shaving mirror onto the front of the flower. Handheld, because I can't get the tripod in place in my bathroom without knocking stuff off the sink, and breaking a mirror is bad luck, or so I hear.

And yes, once again I have shown that I should not, repeat NOT, attempt set up shots in response to a challenge.

In this case I definately prefer the delicate subtlety of the other alternate version.

The Orange is nice and jolly though.

Interesting idea but your light source (I guess the mirror on the lest) is too much distracting and it's obsolite in the picture beacause you already have a reflection from another object at the bottom.

the mirror on the left side spoils the whole composition...
