Lovely. For me it is such a temptation to do this kind of work in color, but ain't nothing like this black and white. Nice job!

The lighting was two 250 watt hot lights. One with a white diffuser umbrella position slightly behind the flower to shine through the petals. The second was with a silver umbrella positioned above and camera right to produce the shadow I wanted.

Great job. Did you use a filter? The veins really stand out nicely.
