A real amateur job with some recently aquired black cardboard, two deskside lamps and my humble Canon A95 point and shoot camera on a tripod (i.e. a pile of books) LOL! In hindsight, I would have liked to have made the depth of field greater (higher F number) to capture more detail in the plant - but I had to compromise between low light and high colour levels. The brightness might appear strange because I thought I would try lighting it from behind - through the plant/leaves themselves... just an idea.

I think this is gorgeous! Doesn't look like an amateur to me! I look forward to seeing more as you get more experience. I really like the composition and the lighting. you were right, lighting from behind was a great idea. Diane

Amateur job? We are all professionals on our own way, aren't we?

You sound like you have about the same studio equipment I do...well, whatever works, and it certainly worked here. I agree with you about the f stop, but stil the clarity is good where the focus was and it's certainly a most pleasant subject.

This is a beautiful shot! The lighting reminds me of the opening scene from the lion king
