Location
Kew botanical gardens, richmond, London,Time
Think it was about mid day to early afternoonLighting
What help with this shot is, the fact that kew gardens put a black dye in the water, i.e. the dark background. resulting in this great effect,Equipment
Cannon 70DInspiration
All the fantastic flowers at kew gardens, and how great they look. its a fantastic place to photograph plants, trees and flowers, what ever time of the year (but best in the summer)Editing

Just my D70 body, a macro lens and two cannon zoom lens.Feedback
Try to get level with the flower head and try different angles, Take your time, looking for the perfect flower,
