Beautiful macro.

Nice with different levels of details. How did you do the black background?

Thank you...it does seem that way doesn't it.

Thank you. This particular image has a naturally dark background. I intensified it slightly, but it was more a function of the shadowed area into which I was shooting.

Very nice. What kind of plant is this Jack? It kinda resembles coral or some type of sea creature.
