Oh, man, this is superb! Visually stunning work. *picking myself up off the floor* What enhancements, if any, did you make?

Thanks to all for the acknowledgements.. To answer the question about enhancements - there were none. I aim to show exactly what I shoot. No doubt one day I will take a shot that I love, which has some flaw that I want to correct, but for the moment I'm just going to leave the shots as they are.
That doesn't mean that I don't think that people who work with enhancements don't do a wonderful job - they do. It's just my personal preference to work with the camera rather than Photoshop.

O, how I love this photo. So simple it's almost sensual. Doesn't get any better than this. 10 x 10 and in my favorites.

This is assuredly the work of a pro, the lighting and almost vignetting aspect to the image draws the eye straight into the shadows, no loss of detail, quite the bold image.

My first thought was...BEAUTIFUL!!!! I love the clarity of the shot! And the black background really sets off the white flower. Very, very well done. I'm a big fan of flower pictures...but this one is truly beautiful...much more so then most I've seen!!!
