Default Flower Heads

Photographers Comments
This is my first attempt at taking flowers like this, I got the idea from Cannockwolf (Dave) with his black perpex as a background.

Very nice Barry. Sharp, with good detail and nice colour. Stands out lovely against your black perspex

Hello, nice work Barry, like the composition and colour. Image is nice and sharp. Did you get the same perpex as me?

This is very eye catching and striking, the detail is awsome and the Perpex works perfectly.

Hi Dennis, this is what I used as suggested by Paul. I then just cut along one piece to the middle and made a small hole about 10mm diameter which is just enough to fit the stem of the flower though, then you have a black background around your flower.
