Thanks guys!
I basically found a shiny plastic bit/sheet thingy,drilled a whole through it (to hold the flower straight and steady), cut a flower, sprayed it all a bit, put a macro ring flash under it and underexposed it. Then I just increased the contrast a tad in PS and that was it. Just experiment with different plastic or translucid surfaces.

Of the early entries, I have to say that this one (ian_g) stands out for me amongst some other great shots.

Thanks Graham. Must confess it was more luck than judgment as I set the self timer, and put the camera in the mud. I've also slightly 'Ortoned' it to soften it as it was very contrasty.

john_g, I like this shot very much indeed. I'm almost tempted to say it's missing a chanter, but that would be altogether too frivolous. Anyhow, well done.

Would a photo of a steelworks constitute 'plant life'?
Or is that too lateral?
Just a thought.

I think the pic is just in the boundaries, I'll wait to be rapped on the knuckles if it's not.
I don't think they're edible, I didn't give it a go not even with a full English breakfast. Thanks for the feedback on the pic, much appreciated. This is part of a concerted effort to get out and take pics as I have lapsed lately.

ZX9s Venus grabs my attention. And what a deadly grip she will exert on the unwary. Fine light, great angle. Well done.

This has been really hard this month, I've never photographed flowers before but I'm determined to use the full potential of my camera!
Some of these shots are brilliant, I don't think my macro is quite upto those standards so I spent a weekend in my mums garden, finally went for something simple but a bit different, I hope!
