This tiny haworthia, about an inch wide, has the dome of its leaves filled with a jelly like substance that protect the chloroplasts from intense sunlight. The main light was a softbox on the right side. A reflector (actually the front of a softbox) was on the left hand side for fill. The backlighting was from a spotlight. I played with the position and intensities of the light to get the glowing effect I wanted. I tried to avoid too much rim lighting as I wanted a gentle glow for this focus stacked image.

Let me know your thoughts
