Really love the colors and composition though my eye whishes the stem to have been between the two leafs.

Bahman,

Your lighting is excellent. I like the way you use strong, simple subjects to create your scene. My only issue is the void on the right side of the image (black area). It gives me a feeling of unbalance when I look at the picture. As always, I learn something everytime you post something. Thank you.

Very nice colours and composition. Is this shot taken indoor?

With the exception of black background (seamless black) everything else is real. It was taken outside. The light is natural daylight. The technique of keeping the background black was explained a few months ago in this forum.

Great lighting and colours on the leaves and blossom. I find the composition somehow unbalanced, likely by the extensive black in the upper right.
