  Thank you William. As it was on a busy road I’d took a small branch home and used a black paper background to make the flower branch stand out strongly. Posted 2 months ago

    Love the subtle halo lighting centered in the background. For me it is a constant battle between black and white backgrounds. This background works very well. Posted 2 months ago
