Its been too wet and windy to venture outside today but did venture as far as the greenhouse, the first two shots are the results, a small succulent, Cerochlamys pachyphylla was blooming. These shots of it were taken with my Canon 20D, MP-E 65 and natural light. The third shot, a Cyclamen was taken indoors with Canons 100mm Macro and a diffused 580EX flash.
Love the angle and the comp of the frist two, in particular. The dramatic lighting and delicasy of the subject in #3 is beautiful - am a bit flumoxed by the stem-to-petals architecture, though. Is the cyclamen a flower with no sepals which ajoins the stem on one side, or are you supporting a plucked bloom with something else. Sorry if this is an obtuse question...

Thank you Amy, much appreciated. The Cyclamen flower is attached to a growing plant, the flower stem arches over and the flowers buds point downwards, as the petals unfold they reflex upwards hiding the sepals and where it joins to the stem, hope that makes sense to you!
