Beautiful complementary colors in this John and the red certainly pops against the black bg. I like the composition as well. Another interesting subject that I've never seen before. A good looking image for my tastes.

Wow, John, this is a very eye-catching photo! Great job on the colors; they work so well with the black BG. Great comp and DOF.

Reds really pop out of that black background. Great job on the stack as well. I think based on how these grow it might not have been possible but if it were then I'd have gone in only for the main branch forming that V.

The black BG really makes the colors pop. Very nice image.
