Location
i took this photo in my backyard garden.Time
it was about 7:30 in the morning when the flower was fully opened and the insects have not been around yet.Lighting
at the time that I took this picture, the lighting was a little hazy, so I used a manual setting and utilized the flash.Equipment
I used a Nikon D40X, AF-S Nikkor 18-135mmED,hand held, flash and manual setting of 200 shutter speed and f12.Inspiration
the color contrast, delicate inner beauty of the stamen of the flower and the overall composition which is like a line of dancing beauties.Editing
yes, I did a little cropping and slight color enhancement, to bring out the contrast.In my camera bag
camera, two or three types of lenses, spare batteries, back up flash, cleaning equipment and battery chargers.Feedback
experimentation, don't hesitate to try something new and challenging; imagination, look at a subject and try to picture the possibilities of it's outcome.
