Thanks for the kind comments. I tried this shot with two flash units first but it looked too flat! Next day, I shot this with natural sunlight right on top of the flowers. A piece of white poster board was placed in front of the flowers to add details and reduced shadows. I underexposed the by 2 stops to get a deeper color saturation. Finally, a little bit of PS guassian blur was used to create the glow. Well Angela, your Mar. 16 photo was my inspiration.
