Beautiful lighting Russell; great job with the flash. Nice DOF/POF choices also.

Russell: Excellent POV and lighting. I also like your DOF choice and the flow of the petals. Top notch shot. >=))>

Nicely done, I really like the unique comp. The light gives us just enough detail. Well done.

I love the different perspective on the Cosmos flower, Russell. The contrast and black bg add to the drama as does the curling petal on the left. Very nicely seen and a well made image.

Very nice angle and beautiful light coming from the lateral flash. A different photo of a different cosmos.
I like it very much.
Take care.
