So the thorn picture is upside down then with shadow on top under a
light tent?
Gee, Winsor -- I never gave it much thought! It's delightful to learn
something about your own stuff from someone else! :-)
I'm pretty sure the thorn is depicted in its "natural" position. I
remember struggling with everything to get the poppy behind the thorn.
I suspect the top shadow is due to shading from the tripod, and the
bottom highlight is diffused light from the white sheet.
This was done with the Zuiko 50/3.5, so I had to get pretty close.
The reproduction ratio probably exceeds 1:1. So there was probably
shading from the lens and bellows as well as the tripod.
