Wildflower in Captivity

I was walking down the street to the mailbox this afternoon when I saw this little wildflower growing alongside the road. Since I'm always looking for subjects to exploit ... I mean photograph.... I stopped and picked it.

 

Strobist info: I used a YN560 in a 24 inch soft box for my main light, camera right at 4 o'clock and a YN560-II in a Rogue grid behind the flower, camera left at 1 o'clock, for some backlighting. The strobes were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N. Down below in comments, there's a picture of the lighting setup.

 

Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. In the description for that set, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash, and the equipment that I use. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/
