I agree completely with Derrel, #3 is excellent. I love the subtle rim light on the stem all the way down. The detail in the petal is awsome.

Cheers much appreciated

Very, very nice. #3 is what I like best too. I really like the detail that comes through in the B&W version.

I have been interested in Beauty Dishes for a while and have never used one. One day I would like to pick one up and work with it.

Thankyou very much, beauty dish light is something between a softbox and a reflector, it is best use on beautiful young ladies with good skin, when i shoot these again i will try my 1.6m Octobox with a grid and maybe a back light

Another vote for #3, B/W. Very classic look. The barely visible stem is an important part of the image. I generally love colour, but the colour image is somewhat garish in comparision to the B/W, with the colour overpowering the texture and shape.

I know exactly where you are coming from, when i shot these i only had B+W on my mind, this wek i have a MF camera coming so hope to get some great shots to show you
