A pink magnolia on a small tree in a garden in Shanghai. Photographed at night.

Canon S3 IS

Nikon SB-80DX at 1/4 power in white shoot-through 43" Westcott umbrella. (Which blew over and damaged the umbrella :( !) High, right, very close to the flower. Rimlight from back left with snooted SB-80DX flash, full power. Needed to up the power and stop down the lens to get the depth of field I needed; the flower was blowing around a bit. Misted it to enhance the dew. Some blow-out on the white petal. Setup shot.
