... and a wonderful shade of red it is. Great lighting to bring out the form and textures of the petals, and the DOF is perfect for isolating the flower.

I'd appreciate some information about how you accopmlished this:
Outdoors or studeo?
natural or artificial light?
light/reflector set-up?
natural or artificial background?

Gorgeous, rose, Charlie. I love the texture in the focused areas and the dof works well for my taste.

Thanks for asking, Wayne. I don't keep a log and have some vagueness as to exactly how I lit this. It definitely was studio, and background is a very dark brown backdrop that I use for many of my studio shots. I believe I used a fluorescent, 5200k bulb on the right with an umbrella diffuser.
