Orange Blossom

Those that know me, know that I don't do flowers. I have nothing against flowers, other than the fact that they make my eyes watery, my nose itchy and give me a terrible headache.

 

That doesn't prevent me though from faking a flower. In this photo I sliced an orange to simulate petals and an cherry in the middle for the stigma. Ok yes I have no knife skills, never claimed I was a chef. And yes it takes some imagination and some squinting to claim it looks like a flower.

 

Never claimed I was sane.

 

Strobist info:

 

Keep in mind I shot this in landscape with the intention of rotating it so the shadows will not relate to the position of the lights in what you see, tilt your head.
