Nice composition. The water droplets on the petals look nice. Have you darkened the background? Thanks for sharing.

Hi Mrudul,

No i havent blackened the background. Tried spot metering. The light was good on the flower and very low on the background. that helped me to get this black background

The black backgrounds were a fad 15-20 yrs back and then that trend died. However, some online photosharing sites in India continue to promote this kind of look. When a reviewer sees every photo as dark background, or high contrast look, or higher colour temperature to make a yellow look etc, the images are quickly tossed aside. Once in a while trying it should be fine.

The Petals look nice and soft. Some more depth of field would have been good. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
