Reflecting On A Back Lit Purple Flower - Explored

I found this purple flower alongside the road in our rural neighborhood, and brought it home to exploit.

 

Lighting. I placed the flower on a mirror, and then back lit it with a Yongnuo flash in a Rogue grid placed behind the flower at camera left. Fill light came from 2 additional Yongnuo strobes in 24 inch soft boxes placed on either side of the flower and pointing at the center. The strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

 

Other pictures of mine that have somehow made it into Explore can be seen in my Explored set. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157618630302105/

 

I've photographed a lot of plants and flowers, because they're all around us, work cheap, and never complain. I have an album of these images with over 800 pictures, and for each one, I have described how I lit them, in case you're interested in that kind of thing.
