Your images of the cactus flower are beautiful. On looking at the EXIF information I'm assuming you used your 60 mm micro lens. Am I right?

Right, ISO 100, RAW, f 22, 3 sec. In total darkness I used a small torchlight which I pointed right inside the flower

I really like this. What exactly is a torchlight? Dumb question...?

Valery, I love this series! You have inspired me! I'm buying a tiny flashlight this weekend.
I wonder what could be done with one of those fiber optic lights you can bend. Putting one up inside a flower might be a neat effect.

I love the coloring...Was it really an incandescent bulb or LED (incandescent usually leaves yellowed images), and what did you do for post processing? Did you mount the flashlight or hand hold it with the camera on self timer?

"Was it really an incandescent bulb or LED" - it was a LED one. But really it doesnt matter - I shoot in RAW and I can set color temperature later in PS to my taste. What matters is the light cone. In this case it should be a narrow one. The camera was on a tripod, 5 or 10 sec. I use a remote not a timer, but that is irrelevant. I hold the flashlight in hand and moved it to enlighten all there inside
