Fantastic detail in the center of the picture. I agree that the black background is very effective in bringing the center out to the front.

Fantastic flora and a grrreat presentation!! However, the frame work needs a wee work as the top doesn't seem to match the bottom. Luv that light working through!!

Super elegant presentation of an elegant flower. Your DOF is spot-on and the simplicity of your presentation makes the flower shine.
