... you get a good supply of very nice flowers. There are no other advantages....
These are all stacked images. On average about six manually focussed shots for each image. All shot with Canon 5DMk2 and Sigma 105mm macro, studio lit. On the last three shots I also used a 21mm extension tube to get closer to the centre of the flowers. Stacked in Photoshop CS5.
I shot this one by placing the flower on top of an upturned studio flash diffuser with another light shining down from above. So the flower was sandwiched between two light sources, which is why it has a translucent look to it.
It's not the same flower, but this is the setup.
