Thanks for everyone's comments yesterday - I really appreciate them. Most people commented that they thought the black was too overpowering in the photo. Here are a couple of other shots from the same day - I actualy did shoot the red flower against my white foam board reflector - but my WB was all wrong, (I'm too chicken to shoot in RAW). The white background was a really ugly gray. I played with it a little in PSE4, and used my paint bucket tool to turn the gray to white. Is there a better way to do this? The second picture was a lighter color flower against the black velvet again. My highlights were kind of blown out, so I adjusted them, but I'm not sure it was enough.
Both photos were shot in AV mode f8.0, 400 ISO, 50mm lens. CC please! Any comments or suggestions are appreciated! Thanks!

OK....don't be scared to shoot in RAW, I do it....so can you! :)
Great shots.....I have some of these flowers from Pier One....I am stealing the idea!!!
I think the colors look great too!
I like this one on the black. I think because it has more dimension. Great capture.
I think the one with the white background looks great. It looks like a picture you see on journals in the store. Love the red border with it.
the second one is gorgeous. you could put this on a card
Looks great. I like the one against the black too.
I like it against the white very striking :)
I love the pink against the black. In the first one, I think a different red border or a black border would make the picture relaly stand out. Right now, the reds are competing. But I absoltuely LOVE the red flower againt the white :)
I love the pink on the black it is great. And well I am not a huge fan of the red on the white something doesn't quite fit well. Love the second one.
