Bought this for my wife in spring and when I passed by it backlit on the window sill....got to work. I used a flashlight to back light it.....done indoors.
Canon Mark III with the Sigma 180mm at f32 for 1/100 sec and ISO 800 all tripod mounted......flashlight back lighting it.

Beautiful capture Roman. I have just recently been introduced to Gerbera daisies. And have noticed the detail from the "butt" side. Stunning comp and lighting. Very drammatic and dynamic. It gives me an idea! Thank you. :toast: :toast:

Roman: I might forgive you for posting this in macro instead of Flora but only because you snagged the EP. Absolutely wonderful lighting and resultant color. One of the best gerbera shots of the year. >=))>

Outstanding. I love the perspective (beneath the flower), and the backlighting creates some powerful colors.

Really like the composition with the petals radiating out from the corner of the frame. Beautiful lighting too. Congrats on the EP!
