Hi Wayne

Very elegant! The lighting is great and the dark bg suits this flower.

You may also want to consider frame this in portrait mode as the base of this flower actually extends a little more than what is shown here.

Lip-smacking! Great light, colors and details. The black works with those blue/purple/red shades. I can see this as a 40 x 30 print under acrylic plexiglass hanging in the entry-way... Large version is solid. Agree w/Gary on a portrait crop..too.

very nice! I really like, that the BG appears to have a texture to it and is not just flat black.

Gary said it right, when he called this elegant. The details and colors are outstanding and there's a nice sense of movement in the angle of the flower.

The royal purple is very striking against the black bg. Terrific lighting and rich colors. Like Gary, I might prefer a more conventional vertical comp with more of the stem visible and less negative space on the sides.
