All very nice but black is my preference!

This is the last color of my backyard Amaryllis to bloom. I've already posted orange and solid red. This one just started to bloom a couple of days ago. The first shot is with a natural background. The second is a very similar shot with the background changed to black. The third shot is another blossom with a black background and finally a close up shot of the blossom interior . I hope you enjoy these. I would love to know whether or not your prefer the black background.
Just a great study, Carol!

Beautiful images Carol. I normally prefer natural backgrounds, and the natural background you have in #1 is certainly not disturbing. But I have to admit that the flower "pops" more on the black background, it totally draws your attention to the flower, so I and my wife Susan (who I had to consult as I was unsure myself) vote for the black background.

Thank you for your vote and thank Susan, too. At first, many seemed to prefer the more natural look. However, as time went on, many began to favor the black background. For the most part, I do what I see as necessary to make an appealing shot.
