I wouldn't change a thing. Not one thing. The detail in this and the subtle tones against the black BG and the way the iris leans/curves...I love it all.

How did you do this, Adrian? Inside or out? What type of lighting?

[Steve Maxson]

Hi Adrian. Yet another beautiful image! I agree with Jules completely. Very well done. :cheers:

[Adrian David]

Thank you Julie and Steven!
The image was shot indoors, with natural light from window and a black cloth as BG.
