Great photos! I especially like the first photo. Can you share the lighting info on it? It looks like maybe High Speed sync with a diffused light (umbrella?) from an on-axis light from above the camera? :-)
Thomas – I used two off camera flash bodies sometimes with diffusers, sometimes without. I shot over 200 exposures and did not take notes. I *think* this one had two flashes with diffusers, slightly off-axis from camera (in both directions) to take the edge off any shadows. Looks like the one on the left is a little lower than subject and the one on the right is a little higher than subject.

Love the reflection shots (and the rest of them) these are incredible. They look especially awesome against the black background of your blog.

What lovely pictures. Thank you for sharing them. What is the name of the flower?

Mary – this one is the night-blooming cereus (also queen of the night).
