Beautifully done, Stefan! I love the uncluttered composition against the dark background.

Nice and simple Stefan. (Again i'm a sucker for black backgrounds)

I had a candidate with a similar looking plant. A "Dogbisquit".

Yes, very well done Stefan. Just shows you don't need a lot of fancy stuff to make a good image!

Thanks all. Rich, this was in our backyard garden with no special lighting. I just had a contrasting dark cloth behind the plant. I use LightZone - selecting the background and sliding its luminosity to zero is trivial. I lack the brain power (and money) to use Photoshop, so I keep it simple.

I really like this one! One of my favs here.

Stefan I like this Back ground. You have done what I have aspired to do but found isolating all the detail in layers just too daunting to accomplish with good results. It looks like you did this with the available light.
