Bird of Paradise - The View From Down Below

I picked this from the garden today before the flower starts to deteriorate. I took this from a lower vantage point because I didn't want it to look like all the other "bird" pictures I have posted.

Other strobe lit plants pictures that I've taken can be seen here. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/

To see this large, please press "L".

Strobist info: Shot with one SB600 in a softbox to the left and a small reflector to the right. The flash was in TTL mode with a minus 2.3 EV. Flash was triggered by the pop up flash on my D90 in commander mode. Shutter speed was 1/180 second so that I wouldn't see any ambient light.
