Description
Applying my latest airplane background technique to an attractive rose bud from one of my rose bushes.
Thanks for looking,
Bill:)
P.S. Do ZOOM...I modified this from the posting seen by my first four commentors by adding an image with a beige background thanks to Andrea not being keen on a black background.

bill, I don't think the 'black' is a problem, I think it's the natural problem of silhouetting a prickly thing against any mono-tonal background, because the sharp edges will always stick out. I've silhouetted pointy images for years, sometimes on assignment, and it's always hard to do. I think both backgrounds are fine, and black would be the natural choice because it's the most neutral towards the reds & greens of the rose. But those prickly 'bits' (thanks Andrea!) will always cut their way into a mono-tonal background, no matter what the hue. Maybe Tara's suggestion may solve the problem because her background has a little activity to 'absorb' those prickles. In any case, this is an experiment, and it's great that you called for responses, and that you're testing the essentials of art—ie, foreground against background, light against dark, etc. This would come under the category of a "study"—something which da Vinci & Rembrandt did all the time, straight up to Picasso and other 20th C. masters. And in that light, you added a second background. In the zeal to post finished images, many of us forget that study & experimentation are what got us here in the first place, and I'm glad you're doing more & more of these. The photo itself, btw, is rich with all the contradictions that nature gives us. Love where you're going visually, & hope you soar in these directions...

I like it best in all its natural glory!
