Comments and critiques always welcome, and thanks for looking,

Beautiful Morris, I feel like I'm looking at the iris through a prism.

I just spent 10 minutes looking through the dictionary so I could say your photo looks like I'm looking through a "kaliedoscope" and once I found it I noticed your title. What a bonehead move on my part. :biggrin:
Very nice look into an Iris Morris. :toast:

A really beauty Morris. I like the colors but it's the symmetry that really appeals to me.

I remember this photo, Morris and I feel this is one of the finest abstracts and a top down photo I have seen of an Iris. Very Kaleidoscope-ish for sure :wavey:
