I found this colorful flower in a parking lot this morning and brought it home to exploit where it's easier to control the light.
Lighting stuff: This was a two light setup with the main light being a Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box positioned at camera left and just out of the frame, and a 2nd flash in a rogue grid behind the blower at camera right to back light the petals. I also used a hand mirror to reflect some light back onto the right side of the flower. The strobes and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.
