That center is just amazing. What kind of flower Ron. Is it a peony? Totally beautiful and I bet it smells good too. Photographed against the black ground is incredibly beautiful.

@Marion: It is a peony ... some exotic variety, I suppose ... it was photographed in nature so the black background is just the deep shade that lay beyond it.

Lovely and delicate, Ron. It almost looks like it's made of paper.

@Michael Skorulski: Yes, it does have that delicate characteristic ... like a fine Asian artform. Thanks Michael.

I like contrast between black back ground and delicate pinks of the flower. Nice picture.

Beautiful.
Curious - how are you getting the black backgrounds? Is it post processing..or something you're doing in the field? The effect is quite stunning.

Ron - this is a superb photo. the pinks certainly are there, but enhanced, I think, by the tiniest bit of yellow that one would expect in the heart of the flower coming through. Frameable (if that's a word!).

Yes, a real pretty pink flower and a pretty picture too. I like the black background which isolates this beauty. Well done Will !

this is one of favorite of your pink series, I think it's the subtle that I like and single flower shots are always something that I like
