Thank you stan. The info was ased off a friend of mine whom he pointed me to this web site. I use selective color to help sharpen by photos by saturation. You will be amazed what movivg the black, white or neutral sliders a bit to the right.

Slavery is illegal in USA...:) Just kidding. No my set up was a humble one. A desklamp with a 5500K white bulb sitting on a kitchen stool with a piece of white fabric to diffuse it. I had to use four 9 feet cords to help me reach the plant. The desk lamp on my left and tripod toward the center of the plant.
I setup the camera on a tripod and did a minus one (-1) exposure compensation, since it was coming too hot even with the "diffuser".
I also sprayed water over it with a plastic spray to give a crispier look.
Then on Adobe CS3 I ran it thru neat image, sharpened using Lab mode then adujsted colors with selective color. Pushing the black to the max and adding a lot of black to yellow and red. This helpd get the "studio black"
I am glad you liked it and thanks for the comments.
