Thanks...Just used the big old ambient softbox of nature, a cloudy day:)

There is a lovely light on this flower. How did you end up with a black background? Did you PP the background black or am I missing something?

Thanks...Iggy I shot this at 300mm shutter 320/sec, F5.6 and tried for the darkest background angle and F5.6 to blur that dark background. In post (PS5) I went to image/ adjust/ selective color and crushed the blacks which removed the dark blur background. I then boosted the yellows a tad to bring them back into the limelight if you will.

Thanks for the explanation! Cheers :)
