Great light/shadow, detail, and color Gary, like the dramatic black BG too.
Well done

Very artistic. The black/red/black presentation here is super.

Reminds me of when you take a flashligth and hold it under your chin and what your face will look like.

Beautiful, Gary! Love the shadings of red and it all shows off so well against the black BG.
