purple tulips in black and white

crisis at home so i'm digging from the past days' shots. these are a bunch of purple tulips and i specifically waited for them to open up before shooting. as usual i took shots with white background. i prefer the details in the edges and the texture of the petals in this black background version. in the white background the details seem to have gotten lost. softbox to the left about three feet away.

thank you so much for your kind visits and comments; know that they are so much appreciated. and also thank you for your generous favs on my post yesterday. you are all awesome folks!
Works beautifully in black and white. Gorgeous light.

Beautiful shot.....is the light in the center of the tulips from the softbox?

@panthora - no, that's just the way the flowers were, the middle inside is almost white, made brighter by the reflection from the soft box. thank you, osia
