Reflecting On A Backlit Pink Hibiscus

I picked this hibiscus in the garden this afternoon and brought it inside to exploit where it's easier to control the light.

 

I placed the flower on a mirror and then setup the main light as a Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch gridded soft box at camera right. Back lighting is from another Yongnuo flash in a Rogue grid hand held and behind the flower at camera left. The strobes and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.

 

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 1200 pictures, and for each one, I have described how I lit them, in case you're interested in that kind of thing.
