I have been inspired by the beautiful photos of flowers I have seen here so thought I would give it a go.

@rslt Which program did you use to edit it? You've got me curious.

Thanks a lot and really glad you liked them.

There wasn't a lot of post processing involved, I used PS Elements 11 to delete an ugly stalk the was holding it up and ON1RAW to adjust the white balance a bit, toned toned down the highlights and a slight saturation of the yellow.
I shot it on a black background, biggest thing is an off camera flash, makes all the difference.
