Best viewed at "original" size

The hairs were outlined by an SB-800 from the top right of the flower.
The petals were lightened from the bottom by an SBR-200 covered with a black paper cone.

A series of 11 images were taken from the nearest to the furthest petal tips
Those 11 pictures were then blended into a single image thru' "Helicon Focus".
