Sorry, I used up my originality for the month with the Wings Challenge.
Two 100 watt halogen lights in clamps lamps on either side of the subject. Used a piece of white paper for a reflector for the bottom petals. Tripod mounted camera with cable remote. Preset white balance.
Post: Convert from raw in PSElements 3.0 with a +0.67 exposure compensation. Layer of curves adjustment. Layer adjustments for levels, brightness/contrast and hue/saturation. Spot edit dust, hot pixels and imperfections in some of the petals. NeatImage. Sharpen. Crop (two black areas in each bottom corner had to go) and crop again for aspect ratio. Resize. Sharpen.

I'm the one that gave you a 10! I can't believe your score wasn't higher! Plus, you went to a lot of work to shoot a flower! You should have come in higher than 43 I tell ya! LOL!
