Contrast!

What do you think? J

Nice colors and composition. The black background brings attention to your subject nicely. I'm not sure how I feel about the front petals being out of focus, but I understand it is hard to get complete depth of field in some of these situations.

WOW! IF only I could get my pictures of flowers as sharp as yours I would be happy. Your Backgroud is so strong that you do not see so much hte front which is a bit out of foucus.

Did you use a light

I didn't use any extra light - just natural light. Have a great weekend. J

I'll say it again! WOW!~ Outstanding photo! Regards, Doug.

Simple and nice!
