Hey Adrian,
Are you running around with BG's???.....cause your are generally outstanding and I'm starting to think you bring them!:bg3: Fantastic light and pose....and the vivid bloom put this over the top! Very nicely done!!!

:S3:
Thank you very much, Roman, for the kind words!
It is all natural BG, although... I am thinking to print some BG's for bird photography setups...like the ones
used by Allan Murphy...but, not there yet...:S3:

I use them for macro all the time! I have a 13x19 printer.....just remember to use matte paper! I have made a few BG's for the birds as well although I have yet to try them out!
