Thanks Jennifer and Stan, I have often tried to figure out how to capture these blooms. They are so complex I have never been happy with shots on the tree. So I finally decided to put just one blossom on black faom core and use a little flashlight to add some directional lighting to enhance the texture. I'm glad you liked the result.
