I love the composition in this Kathy. Beautiful color and softness to the image. Great presentation and processing. The offshoot in the viewer's lower left makes the image for me. I like this very much No suggestions. I am curious though as to your light source?

I don't know how much of this is your use of the NIK filters and how much is due to the lighting you arranged but either way the results are terrific. Nice work!

Kathy,

Really lovely portrait. I have always liked these flower portraits against the black background. However I have always stayed away from them as I was unsure of a print might work with so much black on the paper.
