Yay on the ace indoor studio! I get asked two sets of questions (i) why are you bothering to do all that? and, (ii) how did you do that? One answers the other, I guess.

Ron from Saint Louis, United States
Sounds like my studio ... your shot is very dramatic with that strong contrast ... nice first attempt

@Ron: Thank you, i liked the strong contrast, cheers
Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France
Good first time. Contrast between white flower and black background is well mastered, and it's not easy !!
Just a suggestion : a white (for exemple) frame all around would be welcome, because Aminus3 background screen is black also.

@Evelyne Dubos: Thank you evelyne, i agree, cheers
Earnest from Oklahoma, United States
