I try to take my close up and macro shots outdoors whenever I can, using only natural light and possibly a reflector. Patience and a tripod are often needed in these situations and it's also a good idea to use a trigger release to avoid unnecessary camera shake. I isolated this particular flower from the others by moving in close and using a Nikkor 105mm macro lens. This allowed me to fill the frame with the subject and leave a bit of empty space to the side without encroaching on anything else which may have been distracting in the final image. I find that by placing the subject off centre the composition is more pleasing and the viewer's eye can wander around the image more easily.
