safe haven for tiny formats

Is this done with light or "painted" in through layer masks or some other PS technique? I am just asking so I know if I need to work on my lighting and photo skills or my photoshop skills. Thanks.

Dan, Not much PS at all - beyond a curve and dodging the petals slightly.
Raw Photo Processor is good for holding a very wide range during conversion. After that it just requires a print curve in PS.
It’s window light, feathered here and there. Not shown in the setup is a large piece of cardboard tacked to the the far window shutter to feather off the background. I just get light objects to merge out from the dark areas. I need a b&w print for a show so I’ll get round to doing it on 8x10 next week .

Excellent! Thank you so much for that, set-ups and explanations are of great value to me and always helpful. I failed to mention this but I'm loving your work.

A first attempt at assembling an eBook of photographic images. Self-published eBooks might make a good topic for the lounge.

Excellent Peter. It make me wonder what's beyond the window.

Thanks, Scott. I got bored sitting in the hotel room waiting. Might as well try to find a picture....
