Wow...this one is really reaching my soft spots, Patrick. Beautiful editing work and a gorgoeus subject, especially against the black background.

Dave Ombrello May 18, 2008

Hi Patrick, As I look through your excellent portfolio I see one thing that really intrigues me. I love all of the dark backgrounds, pitch black, they really bring out the subject matter and simplify the composition. I know it is tacky of me to ask for a little help but if you didn't mind maybe you could give me a tip or two on how you do it. If you don't want to I understand but I think it would help me alot in my efforts. Thanks for your consideration. #5938664
