This is a lovely shot and I like the way you placed the stem diagonally in the frame. I'm not a great fan of black background and would love to see this with a more natural looking setting.
The thing I like mose about this shot is that it reminds me that Spring is only a few months away.

Very pleasing image with nice composition and lighting. I especially like the small unopened bud lower on the stem. I agree that a more natural (green?) background would be nice, but also like the black.

Randy,
Excellent shot, well composed. The black background really works on this one. Great job on maintaining detail in the whites. Very pleasing image to view Randy.

Great use of DOF here - with the black background it works really well. These guys are quite hard to get with a good dof as they are usually found in groups with messy backgrounds.
