Hi all, The shot of the hand and tulips had just one light coming from behind / high / left. There were three large (4x6 foot) white cardboard reflectors placed on either side of the subject as well as one underneath on the floor. It was taken with a 4x5 camera with a telephoto lens wide open (f 6.8). Thanks for the reviews and if you wish further technical details don't hesitate to ask. Best regards, Roderick Greg Frazer: Roderick Chen - Beautiful bouquet in a refreshinly high key background. I find it strange somehow seeing the person holding the flowers almost blurring into obscurity. That's probably due to my own tunnel vision. This is a very pleasing image with amazing control of DOF. Andrew Fildes: Roderick Chen - lovely use of depth of field and perfect cropping - they really jump at you. Morley Roberts: Chen - Pleasing bouquet. The subtle muted colours work well, particularly with the soft faded background. The lighting is interesting, might be nice to know exactly how it was done. Jay Abriam: Awesome shot! Any technical details?
