Lenten Rose

I liked this Lenten Rose but the background was way too busy so I turned it black.

Canon 60D, f/11, 1/400, ISO1600, 300mm.

I appreciate all comments and critiques.

Pretty flower from a "different" perspective, with a very interesting array of leaves. Very well seen and captured!

Great decision about the bg. I'm a great fan of blk bg's. I like the softly lit light on the stem, This is very well done.

A pretty, well presented and well composed image.

Most excellent, Barb ! The composition, the lighting, the detail all contribute to giving the flower great presence. I am not the greatest fan of black grounds but it does work well here and, from what you say, was in any case the best option.

Love the pink/green color combo., Barb. It looks good against the black and shows some great details.

Barb: Beautiful flower nicely presented. On my laptop I can see vestiges of the BG at certain screen angles so if you were to work this for print I'd clean it up a bit. A fine effort as is. >=))>
