Colors In A Backlit Bird

My sister has a bunch of bird of paradise flowers in bloom right now, so a couple of days ago I brought a few of them home to exploit.

 

Lighting. The main light was a Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch softbox at camera left. The back lighting came from another Yongnuo flash in a Rogue grid behind the flower at camera right. The strobes and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.

 

Other pictures that I've taken of Birds of Paradise flowers can be seen in my cleverly titled Birds of Paradise album.

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 1000 pictures, and for each one, I have described how I lit them, in case you're interested in that kind of thing.
