This was another tough photo shoot. The wind was gusting and I had to hold the plant in order to keep it still enough to focus. Then, to get the third shot, I had to twist the plant a little to expose the part I wanted to show off, which was the abdomen from the side. It's times like this where I could use an assistant! :-)
