106: Grape Hyacinth

Muscari botryoides, or the common Grape Hyacinth - in very close-up detail. The camera was pointed right downwards on the flowerhead, almost touching it due to the extreme close focus. I found it difficult to get the flash to illuminate adequately the areas I wanted, but I got an okay result - "different," you could call it.
Another reason to find myself one of those offboard flash hotshoe boxes that have a PC socket; I have the other bits I need.

Settings: f/11, 1/180, ISO 200, 50mm Cosinon M42, 88mm extension, full flash, foil reflector, tripod.
