Gorgeous! Just a little darker on the top two buds? But the lower one is perfect!

John that is beautiful well done, I would suggest pulling down the brightest highlights just a tad.

Thanks both. Sorry to be so long getting back. You wont believe this but I did actually lighten the petals a bit on the top to get abit of modelling!!!
Will have a reverse play !!
Thanks
John

Hi John. Beautiful flowers that really stand out against the black. I would agree with toning down the brightest areas, but that will be only a subtle tweak to a very strong image!
