After watching Donna and Angela, I had to give it a try, however I did mine a little different, I placed my 24 X24" soft box back behind the flower (NOT LIGHT BOX) set @ full power, another off camera flash in front of the flower set @ 1/8 + 7ev power.

After setting the shutter and ISO and getting where I liked it in the camera, I shot a three shot bracketed exposure +-5 ev.

I then did a 3 shot HDR tone mapping into one picture, but didn't stop there, In On1 Raw I replaced the background with a light tan color burn overlay. After looking at the white background and the light tan background ether one will work just fine, I think the color background just adds a little more to the picture.

What do you think?

Johnny, excellent ad a little color in the background enhances the photo.

Johnny, I find this Post and comments most interesting as well as educational...beautiful flower picture too! Lacking the photo experiences of you and others posting here, a Post like this one is considered to be most educational to me, teaches me new ways to take pictures, adds to the enjoyment of photography. Needless to say, I will be spending time on this subject today thumbing through a few books as well as reading about this subject on Google...this will be a fun day! Thanks for sharing, much appreciated. Tejaswrangler
