Gorgeous! And we don't even know her name. She looks like a Mandy to me...

Hymenopus coronatus, ah yes, an excellent choice of name (yes of course I googled it).

Great shot Matt, really like the black background and the well handled whites.

Thanks George ! I have been playing with some diffusion materials on my mt24 ex flash which helped with the whites.
