This image shows the setup for one of my poinsettia flower closeup images.  My Canon 30D is sitting on my Manfrotto tripod with a cable release and my 60mm EFS lens pointing at a poinsettia that has a mature female flower emerging from the involucre.  Behind the potted plant is a chair with a black T-shirt hanging on it to act as a background. (Marc C. Perkins)
