Mette, Thanks for the comment. Debbie, this was my first attempt at studio work. I actually bought some flowers for me (I feel so manly). I also bought some sweet bell peppers to photograph as well. Anyway, I was shooting this yellow orchid against a white background by using a piece of white poster board with a small hole cut in it to stick the stem through. I was experimenting with different lighting, then wanted to find a way to provide back lighting to get the waxy translucent feel for the flower. What I came up with was a mini flashlight pressed up against the back. Real high tech, huh? It was late afternoon in my kitchen with the lights off, not real dark even.

Thanks Ruth, Debbie, and Damian: This is one of my favorite shots. In fact I gave a large (12x15) framed version of it to my Mom for Mothers's Day. Thanks again for your support.
