I really like how the flower "melts".
After some thoughts: I would prefer not so active green background.

Just curious, Sasha: do you mean make a closer crop, or reduce the
brightness or saturation of the green bg? Frame/crop-wise I was
focussed as close as the DA*55 would allow. This is a Hosta plant with
bright yellow-green leaves. I had already increased the contrast so as
to lighten and add depth to the fg and drastically reduce the bg
luminosity. I agree that the bg is still pretty saturated, partly from
the contrast boost (two Ps layers using Overlay) but also partly from
being underexposed down there (not much flash hit it).
Thanks for looking and commenting!

Very nice!
I've been using the mini softbox for a bit now, need a larger one too.
I also use a round foldup diffuser, tape it to the flash in a big
curve occasionally. Anything to spread out and sften the light.
