Thanks for all the great comments everybody! =]

A lot of people wanted to know how I did this, and it really isn't complicated. Thinking back to a science class demonstration, I remembered the "colored shadows" effect. So I set up a quick test, and when I saw that it would work, I started thinking about the "creative" aspect (the key part to most challenges, in my opinion) of what to have make the shadows. I eventually thought of using flowers that matched the colored shadows, but was reluctant because of the possible "another flower shot" backlash... but I decided to do it anyway because I couldn't think of anything better. =] So I made a quick trip to the grocery store (where I had seen these multi-colored daisies in the past) and bought the flowers. I shot with the lights in several different locations, but I settled on this composition for my entry.

(I'm glad this was a "Basic Editing" challenge, or I'm sure some voters would have assumed this effect was created in Photoshop!)

I found this web page which explains the colored shadows phenomenon for anyone interested.
