Nikon D700
Nikkor 60mm macro
Kirk BH-3 with L Bracket
Manfrotto 3221WN
Cable release
Lastolite reflectors
Homemade wind boxes - (Thanks Mike Moats for the idea and instruction!)

A small and low to the ground subject along with an annoying breeze made this one a real challenge. Comments welcome - Thanks for viewing! - Vince

I like the 3-dimensional effect and the sharpness of the center subject. Unusual and presented well. :toast:

Beautiful image, Vincent! I like the compsition of the flower with the buds very well. I would have liked a small border around the photo, would make it pop even more. :toast:
