Thanks, I put the stem of the flower into a foam type substance, "that green stuff used to hold fake plants" then i used a peice of cardboard with tin foil on it as a reflector, and then i used my D70 as the commander and my sb-600 on remote and held the two in different positions and flash the flower in a very dark room.
