That is impressive. Nice treatment of the monochrome too!

Thanks Doc.

I used a softbox that was positioned on the left side. And a dark screen to block the light from falling on the background. I stopped down the shutter speed about ed 2 stops.

Afterwards in the RAW tool of PS I optimized the levels a bit. Then I used the black & white tool in PS where I increased the red and purple levels. Finally, I applied some sharpness using the unsharp mask.
