Karen arranged this floral display with flowers from her garden.
I can be seen in the reflection of the base. =)
A piece of matte black foam curved up – held by a tall candle behind.
My wireless flash (controlled by my on-board pop-up) on the table to my right. The flash is pointing at the ceiling at a 90 degree angle to the table. I used my lens cap and a rubber band to block direct flash from the front.
A little Lightroom sharpening and cropping, and here you are.
A bit of color for a rainy day.


Gorgeous stiff life. Perfect colors.. lighting.. background. And the base reflection seems to contain another etherial image that contrasts well with the palate of colors above it… and I would not have guessed it was a reflection of the shooter.
