The red really pops against the dark BG Elizabeth. Well captured and shown in my opinion.

Outstanding image. Love the red popping out from the black background, and the lighting is just as excellent.

Very striking image, Elizabeth ! The isolation of the flower works superbly. and the centre detail and petal textures are first class.

Outstanding image, Elizabeth! This is a real eye-catcher!

Just love the color and the interesting design of this flower and you have displayed it very well in a nice comp against the black background. Great details and lighting too.

Krunal, I used a piece of velvet material. Velvet usually does not have a shine to it and no fabric pattern. THank you for you comments.

Dynamite in its simplicity and color. The stem components prevents the almost center frame from being problematical.
