Aww, thank you very much for the compliment, Julio. I appreciate it a lot. Irena

Very beautiful and sharp. How did you succeed in takin this flowers on a perfect black backgraund? Is this for real or is a manipulation in PS ?

Thank you very much, Ema. *smile* To answer your question: I'm rather obsessed with black background for flowers and experiment all the time with settings on the camera. As I prefer to take pictures outside, with natural light, that's sometimes a challenge. *lol* When I'm lucky enough to get the background very dark I just adjust levels and contrast to make it even darker - I don't think it's a manipulation. Although in some cases I use *burn* and *blur* tools on parts of the background to make it smoother, like in this case. Irena

Thanks for your answer, Irena. Have a nice day!
