First of all Emile, I love the lighting because it just brightens the whole picture. Added to that is that black background. The flowers themselves stand out and I have come to really love the blue color for a flower. The flowers are simple in looks when standing alone, but as they form the cluster the beauty of the whole is anything but simple. Gorgeous look my friend. #10799687
