Hi Rajan and John R, and thank you for your comments. I use black velvet and a careful placement of flashes, flags, and reflectors. This photo took 2+ hours of fooling around with lighting (due to my lack of experience), and then another bulk of time with the focus stack. I'm glad you like it.

[Eric Myrvaagnes]

It was worth the time and effort.

[Bob_B]

Thanks, Eric.

Yes, well worth the effort. Those rich and warm colors and curling effect are wonderful.
