Found this wild onion at the local nature center. I liked the way these blooms looked on top of what seemed like a very weak stalk.

Fascinating texture, and I like the black background and deep shadows of the blooms. You may have already played with this and decided not to, but I like a crop with less black on the left and top.

John:
Like the lighting here, almost like controlled directional studio lighting. Love the different tone of green.

Great use of the directional light & shadow, I like the point of focus/detail and this black BG works for me John.
Well done

John - I too saw something like this today - but the structure was a wee bit different from the one you have presented here. Nice light to go along.

I think a square composition might suit this better.

Nice image but I agree there is too much black background that doesn't add to the image. Suggest cropping.
