Very impressive. Reminds me of the lighting used in the old Hollywood "glamour" shots of the 30s and 40s, which is appropriate for this lovely.

I like that you choose b&w to do this image - it gives a very artistic dimension - I like the framing too

I like your treatment and composition in this image. I am not usually a fan of flower pictures, but this one works well for me because of the way that you composed it.

Flirting with black, huh?...

(Whatever happened to your trademark grey, I wonder... Oh, right, I should go back to your previous photos. I've missed so many of them!)

I just love it, perfect gradation.
