Cliff: Thanks for the tip. I figured it had to be something like that -- its very difficult to add such a perfect background in the computer. I do something similar on some of my pictures but I use colored construction paper and it's not as steady as plywood. I'll have to try it your way.

Hi Lydia thank you for your kind comments the black background is a sheet of plywood painted with blackboard matt black. All my photographs are taken with natural daylight through a window. If you are thnking about trying this don't forget to angle the board's trailing edge away slightly so the light doesn't fall on the board only the flowers this should give you a perfect black. Look forward to your posts
kind regards

What a wonderful shade of blue. I'm just blown away by your flower pictures -- they're all so elegant. I really enjoyed looking through your portfolio.
May I ask about how you achieve the black background. Do you "pose" the actual flowers in front of something black or do you add the black background in the computer after you've taken the picture? Thanks.

Thank you for the comments Rona, lessons are fine as long as I don't have to post self nudes as a reciprocal arrangement, not a pretty sight

Very beautiful. It appears to glow. The only thing I would have done differently would have been to keep it all in focus, but that is a matter of taste.

Cliff, very nice. I think I need to start taking pics of flowers, the problem is I believe you are the master at it so I need lessons. Love it!
How's the grandkids by the way?
