Love all your flower shots but if I had to pick just one, this would be my fave. You've lit it perfectly.

My dining room table.

Night

I used a fluorescent emergency light on the left side for this shot.

Equipment

Nikon D300; Sigma 150mm f2.8 Macro; Tripod, no flash.

Inspiration

I was experimenting with multiple light types and using this flower as a prop.

Editing

Not much post processing in this. I raised saturation by about 2 points, sharpened to taste and cropped for this composition.

Experiment with all sources of light you can. It will inspire you.
