beautiful image JJ. love the luminous blue on the black. i would have cleared the background though and make it just black. the little lighted wall (is it?) on the upper right was a bit distracting. other than that, this is really lovely! :)

Awesome! Did you have to take out the background, or was that the way it came? Either way, it's a fantastic photo. What kind of flower is that?
