Beauty is an ecstasy; it is as simple as hunger. There is really nothing to be said about it. It is like the perfume of a rose: you can smell it and that is all.

Nice capture of the water droplets in this and also in mint photo.

How do you achieve the back-ground effect? I wanted to photograph items for EduConsole.com with a full-white BG and had read about the light-box technique. Did you use something like that for the rose and the mint ?

For the cloud face I guess you use some tools (gimp?). Would like to know how you achieved it too.

Keep clicking.

Thanks for the compliment. Achieving full black is relatively easy than full black. Use a shallow depth of field and use of flash highlights the things you want to photograph. Then use brightness contrast and levels to get the black effect. Still haven't tried Light boxes. Also creating a light box in not complex an simple card board box and white papers would do.If possible I can click a few photos for EduConsole.com
