This was shot against the light with a D70 and 80-400VR. The black background is caused by the lower, shadowy area of a forest.

I really like this, Marsel. The flowers seem almost translucent. I can't think of anything I'd change. Very nice.

I love the beautiful luminous color, and the black BG, and the simplicity of the 3 distinct layers (purple, yellow-orange, and black).

Outstanding. It looks like the work of the famous glass artist Chihuly.
