Lovely image Anne - The color is grand; the blue/purple is so delicate!

Thanks, Bill! This one took some yoga moves to get the purple in the bg!

Anne, this is wonderful. The composition/POV are great, and the colors are so soft and clean.

Charlie, the bg is another iris wobbling in and out of focus (prior to using a plamp!).
Thanks!

Hi Anne:
Lovely abstract especially the purple bg. Yes we all go through the pain to get the perfect image. Like the diagonal placement. Happy 2011.

Too funny, Charlie! The first time I used a plamp, I accidentally beheaded the flower I was shooting! I moved my tripod without releasing the bloom...
Thanks for the feedback, everyone!
