The Fire Picked Up Energy

An SB-800 flash unit was fixed on the left-hand side
behind the flower to provide strong back lighting.
It emphasises the vivid colours and contours of the flower's petals.

A small SB-R200 flash unit was handheld on the upper left
in front of the flower to illuminate the stigma.

Absolut perfection... magnificiant. Bravo, you've reached a level where this serie is certainly among the very best on PBase. Each one of that serie is a winner by itself, but together... side by side, as a whole, it stands out as the best there is. The framing is just perfect, it enhences the subject beautifully, supporting the image rather than overpowering it. That serie belongs in prints, framed as is here and on the walls of anybody. I can really see that serie as a centerpiece in an exposition of your work. Magnifique CM
