i didn't quite capture my vision here, but hope you like my effort.
i laid a glass on a mirror, put some potting soil in it, and positioned part of the flower stalk in the dirt, and against the top of edge of the glass. i then hung the flower head from string and got it to line up with the stalk on the other side of the glass. tricky.
lit by a 550ex under the mirror, and a couple floods behind a diffuser to highlight flower head.

Very nice capture. The noly thing I could think to better this image would be to clean up the glue(?) that is holding the glass in place. Perhaps some artful use of cloning?
aha! I think I get it. Dirt in the glass, flower placed behind... false perspective! I like it. This looks soupy to me (soup is good - think Campbells - mmm, mmm)
