Mark, those colours are very pretty. The pinks really do look like velvet - nicely done :)

Mark, I see where you are going here w/ the velvet look on the petals. I'm not crazy about the mixed lighting and shadows on the petals. The stem seems a bit overpowering. I do like the black BG and think that the effect is neat.

Thanks for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.
