    Beautiful lighting, Gus. Nice, clear details. I think I'd either darken the entire stem or take it out at the halfway point.

    Gus:

    You got it!!

    I read your formula and my head burst!!

    I love the "feel" of the flowers color. Almost like velvet.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Gorgeous!! I love the formal feel with the black BG and centered composition. Beautiful lighting. Sharp. The partially lit stem doesn't bother me.

    I looked up the flash system you are using. Impressive looking.

    Simple and elegant. A winning combination. Very well done, Gus.

    Hi Gus,
    I might lighten the darker portion of the stem some.....but the rest is gorgeous! I'm not normally a fan of black BG's....but this one works for me.
