Larry: Superb portrait that would make any girl blush. Really nice work on the lighting and the black BG works great. Top notch. >=))>
PS: Are you in one of the heavily impacted areas in New York?
trying to stay clear and inside… in this county alone we are approaching 500 cases not counting those isolated at home… I am going by the 91 psalm… larry
Larry,
Love how you were able to isolate all of this against the black bg. The lighting is quite beautiful as well - if not interesting. I say because it’s like there is a mix of natural, direct and even backlighting, but also the bottom leaves with some effective fill flash? Actually it doesn’t really matter because again they all stand out against the bg.
My only thought would be to drop the brightness of some the higher values in the rose, but really, it’s quite effective as presented.

A lovely composition, Larry ( and nice to see you posting again by the way ! ). Like Lon I might just like to see the rose highlights down a touch but overall the lighting is delightful.
