Thanks for the nice comments. As you can see I need to work on it somemore so any and all suggestions is greatly appreciated.

My backdrop was improvised...I couldn't find the black cloth I intended to use so I dug out a solid black sweatshirt spread out on a livingroom chair. I looked for something with low reflection and that was the best qualifier. I'd like to try a white background. Maybe use a white posterboard.

I owe some belly shots to Blake so that will be my next adventure and I'll try to use the white background. I may set them on glass and cover with a white sheet, shoot from underneath and see what happens. Fun stuff!!!

Here's a couple more only cut down in size but otherwise stock no mods.

Looks like the -2 step combined with the F-stop increase produced a slightly darker image. I'm sure the -2 was the mistake from an earlier try and I just forgot to reset it.
