WOW!  That looks awesome.  Really awesome.  How did you do the black background and get it to pop soooo much?

The background was already dark, so I just pushed the blacks all the way out and then used an adjustment brush to get out all of the areas that were still visible, and then raised the contrast. I do this for most of my flower photos.

A great set, Jon!  #2 / #5 are awesome.  The Canon FD 50mm & Raynox 250 seems to be a great combination.  Appreciated!
