f16, ISO 200, 1/100sec
Shot in a little bit of wind, hence the ISO increase from 100 base. The only thing I regret about this shot is the harsh light from the flash - I could not have got the shot I think without using the flash, but the light is distracting along the upper petals.
I now use a cheap diffuser on the popup flash (being a bit of folded up toilet paper) and have found this to work really well - all I need now is a chance to repeat the shot if I can, though I have had no luck with recreating this as yet.
Any comments, crits welcome - thanks

Thanks for the compliments all!
Dog and Kitty- clips for holding the flower and a set of sizzers are somethings that I have been adding to my kit - I try my best to get shots that don't require any cutting at all and much prefer to move the offending parts out of the way - but there are times, as Kitty pointed out, when dead parts do get in the way and removing them is not damaging to the plant.
This was also a tripod shot - but I shoot in aperture priority mode almost all the time and am still getting used to setting different shutter speeds to get different effects
