About Hey, Elvis could be gaudy and my wife was not around with her black jacket for this one so I used a piece of black velvet for the background. This is the first asiatic lilly to pop in our garden this year.

Wonderful DoF here. And the black velvet works very well here, giving the flower the needed attention. The composition is very nice too. Really a very nice floral capture.

Jim, thanx for looking at pictures and also for your warm words.

I love your flower pictures, they're done very tastefuly, I usually dont like taking pictures of flowers because they're already beautiful. But you changed my mind about it.
I absolutely love this picture. The beautiful colors against the black background makes them look even more beautiful.

good job

Hi Jim, this truned out really nice, I like that look, funny you should say that about the Elvis look! It really does look good in a black frame and, I have matted some in black velvet as well, really looks great. Thanks for your recent comment on "Genius", by the way, the guy in the mirror is my framer and printer too! Keep on shooting, Cary

Hi Jim, beautiful contrast with the background and lighting is supberb are are the colours of the Lilly. How do you like the Canon 100mm. I was torn for a long time between it and the Sigma 150 2.8 which I eventually got. The Canon though, is an excellent lens and your pictures certainly show that, in your hands of course, pictures are excellent. Keep up the great work. Regards, Art.

The name caught my eye, Jim. Great idea using the background. Black creates perfect contrast for the colors of the lily.

Wow, Jim. The black background and the lighting on the Lilly sure add pop to the shot. Colours are supberb. Excellent shot and combo (20D + Canon Macro). Thanks for the wonderful compliment from you and your wife. Tell her it made my day to get a great comment for a change. Keep up the great work, regards, Art.

Nice shot Jim, boy your florals sure are impressive (don't mean to slight your other photos, but I like florals). All very nicely captured and presented. Wish I had the Macro, it's so highly regarded. Best regards, Art.
