Steve writes: "This orchid was backlit by the sun through a window. The lighting allowed me to get the lens very close to the center of the flower without having to worry about the camera itself blocking light coming from the other direction. I shot this with an Olympus SP-350 set on its 'super macro' mode. Afterwards, I brightened the image slightly with the Curves tool in Photoshop CS2." Vote for This Entry
