This is marvelous, Terry. How did you acheive that perfectly black background? I'm always cloning and painting to try and get that effect.

Thanks Lem...actually I think I took this one against a green backgound!
Generally I do take it against a black posterboard background. I usually get the blackness by not shining any light in that direction and then by adjusting in photoshop. I Use the individual channels and add black to the black channel. Does that make sense? I can do it but I can't explain it!
