    Exclamation B&W Flowers

    My grandmother recently came back from the hospital, which brought with it an insurmountable amount of flowers.

    Wow, love the lighting and contrast! Composition is perfect.

    I'd say leave as is. (Or if you want me to be a little nitpicky, maybe apply a slight brightness boost...?).

    Very nice work. :thumbsup:

    Excellent as is. The border works nicely, too.

    Two questions: Lighting (of course)? And what program (or whatever) did you use to create the signature font?

    SB-600 on a stand on camera right with an umbrella, and a light behind (regular lamp). and I wrote the signature on paper, took a picture of it, selected it, and turned it into a brush (very useful! I can vary the sizes and put it on every picture!)

    Great angle, lighting, and presentation. They are a bit soft but Susaan may hit me if I tell you to sharpen them up (I earlier remarked that her's were too sharp). I think black and white flowers are hard to make work, but that you've done it well -- congrats!
