John: Count me in the column that prefers the repost. The more natural looking BG enhances these wonderful blooms IMO. 2 thumbs up. >=))>

Excellent stacking to my eyes, John, and a most elegant composition.  The black bg works well in bringing out the reds but the more natural and graded bg would be my preference.

Wow, this is really gorgeous! The red and green against the black BG is beautiful.
Sharp detail, interesting flowers, bright foliage - all come together perfectly.
