[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is one floral shot in which I actually know the type of flower! That might be because I'm the one who bought them from the store and there was a little card attached. In all reality, lilies of any kind are my wife's favorite flower and I "bought these for her" way back in January when I shot this.

Unfortunately, it has been so long since I shot this, I don't really remember my lighting set-up. For looking at the photo in conjunction with my faded memory, it appears that I lit this with a hot lamp high from the top-right and used a white reflector to bounce the light back from the left.

Post-processing:
I don't think I did much with this image. I know I dodged the background to ensure it was black. I think I only had to adjust the white balance and sharpen the flower bud.

It's my 100th! Let's strike up the band and celebrate. Or we could just go out and shoot some more.

Hi Scott...
Beautiful shot...
Beautiful light, composition....
Regards...
Andro

Nice. I like the simple, stark, understated nature of this one. Nice light, good details, accurate colours and simple, strong composition with the perfect background.

Great simple shot Scott! Sharp as a tack! I love the starkness of the two sharply contrasting colors.
Great job.
Trudy

simple et belle ...

Congrats on your 100th! I think you really have something with your still shots. You have a skill for composition that is a testament to your patience with the subject and experimenting with different angles, light settings, backdrops, and it really pays off.
