Nice soft persona.
Yes, it's sharp enough - doesnt need any more.
I would have probably added a few raindrops here just to give it a bit more intrigue. Flowers like this look beautiful in the garden...but stand alone, aren't THAT interesting in a photo unfortunately.
Which is why I added the drops to this one Wink

The most common way of getting a black background is to use a roll of background paper like colorama. Shots like this are lit with studio lights and, even though the background paper is black, you have to make sure that it is far enough behind the subject so that no light spills on it. Even after all that care in the camera, it is often necessary to fine tune the black in Photoshop to make sure that it is absolutely black all over. This is done with the levels control.

Thanks for answering Geoff. This one was shot with studio lights as geoff says .For me i shoot with a black velvet background and pull up the blacks in raw before taking into photoshop for fine tuning.

Thank you very much for the help, Which kind of shots must require studio lights and how would I be able to set up a lighting being a non professional and without studio.
