 I cut a round hole in the piece of poster board over my shooting area, about 3/4 inch round and set a bright white LED flash on top. Centered, sort of, a bouquet of pink and white tulips below it. The only light was the light of the flashlight. Shot with camera on tripod and used the cable remote release.(Personal Note: DSM_7229)

A fifth view and benefit of doubt to the author. A spectacular image creatively lighted by direct soft light. A good how to highlight certain areas without negatively affecting other areas creating a other worldly impression. Very artistic and technically perfect. Well done.

Great use of lighting! Wish there'd be less air between the upper two flowers and the rest of the blooms.
