A well balanced image with nice black background. A favourite.

well executed... in my favorites.

Beautifully composed and lit. I love all the detail and the black background really makes the flowers pop. High in my faves

Great composition. The black background really makes the flowers stand out.
Mepo

The dark background was a good choice to bring out the delicate flowers.

A beautiful shot emphasised by your good choice of background colour.

I closed the lamps to avoid reflections through the window and to avoid strong shadows from the cameras flash, I used longer distance to the flower. There was quite dark outside, but there were distracting thinks outside, so I choosed the background and colored it with a copied backgrounnd color.

Beautifully composed and shot - nice work!

I like the composition of left to right flow, and the black background contrasts nicely with the colour
Interested that you appear to be shooting at 420mm rather than something closer?

I'm not normally a big fan of flower photos, but this one is stunningly beautiful.

Certainly well framed, lit, and composed, I am just not sure why the black background. While it highlights the florals and colour, I'm feeling it is a little dark for the lovely subject. Technically well taken.

Nicely done. Perhaps the lighting on the flowers is a little harsh against the black background?
RobertLavker
Feb 22, 2019
beautifully done.

Excellent composition and tonality. Very striking against the black background which I suspect you did some work on in post. The only thing I'm not in love with is the unnatural crunchy look of the flowers, but that might be your artistic choice.
