Eric: I like the lighting here especially. I think you could get away with brightening it up just a touch. Well seen and captured. >=))>

Hi Eric!

I think the back lighting and your capture are really good. I would darken the 2 blooms in the background a bit to enhance the edges of the main bloom. The stem on the left as well.

Very nice PP Eric. Dramatic theatrical quality to the light. Hightlights not blow yet good detail in the dhadow areas on the main subject. The angle of the subject adds to the impact of the presentation. I would agree with the comments on toningdown the bg hotspots and the stem. But those minor points aside, a very nice image captured. :toast:
