This is a stunning botanical, Scott. The post-treatment bringing out the texture of the petals and laying it on the black background makes this an example of the very best in photography.
All your work shows your art side, which is as must post-camera as behind the camera, so to speak.
This has a depth of feeling in your choice of color as well, almost a jazz feeling. I could see it as the cover for a CD, but also a a card.
Beautiful work, all of it, thanks for sharing.
