Both shots of this bloom are eye candy offerings but I like the way this one fills the frame with the branches leading the eye to the bloom.  The bright bloom on a black background wouldn't need much help attracting the eye though.  Your soft lighting & excellent exposure means there are no washed out highlights to disturb the eye.  Poster material.  Best, LM.

Hi Gregory & Verena,

Wonderful presentation of this Nigella, Colours, details and light are spot on! Very effective composition too with the black background. Congrats! Best wishes. Sarah.

Thanks for your time and detailed comments.

I think what draws us in is the black background and then the explosion of color unfolding right before our eyes. The sprigs of brances you have included in this shot almost looks like fireworks, Mother Natures fire works.
