I posted an image of a single Crazy Daisy a little while back and thought I would follow-up today with a slightly different composition.

I used the same lighting setup as before with the flash placed beneath the flowers on a very low power setting. With the camera on a Tripod I placed it so it was looking at the flowers side on with the centre flower sticking out farther to the right then the other two. Using Live view and a wide enough aperture I ensured I had sharp focus on the centre Daisy.
