... from my usual black velvet background.  I shot these with the 14-42mm against posterboard. 

They are beautiful!

The black background would never have brought out the beauty of that color.  (my untalented opinion)  Great job.

You are so right Jeanne it would have muted it!  I think that is the right word.

The second one, with a slight graduation of background tone from left to right, is excellent.   It puts some dimensionality to the background, and it works very well.   I can also see the water drops more clearly in the second one.   The placement of light sources seems to be better the second time.

Thanks, y'all.  The second is my favorite, too.  I'm still experimenting with lights, backgrounds, placement, subject angle...
