Blue Light

I shot a sequence of 10 frames with a slight shift in focus in order to increase the DOF.
The frames were then assembled by stacking with Helicon Focus.

The Anthers were illuminated by an SB-800 with a homemade soft box right above the flower.
A flash unit was fixed below the flower to shine the petals.
