Taken completely vertically with a frosted ceiling chandelier as the background. Mid day sunlight and the incandescent chandelier were used to create underexposure with the subject. Flash was used and diffused with 1 layer of yellow fabric and also a white towel to get the desired color pallete. Shutter and aperture adjusted to darken exposure. 3 types of lighting used - Sunlight, incandescent, and flash.

This is such a nicely focused shot. I like the white against the dark background. The dew and the texture of the petals is captured quite nicely (except for a slight overexposed area on the petal directly beneath the purple and white petal). Unfortunatey there is no separation between the flower and the 'moon'. The light becomes a distraction. In my opinion, this shot suffered so much from that light.
Nicely staged and nice colour balance. Black is not black on my screen (it's grey) and the detail in the water drops is a little blurry, otherwise would have scored higher.
