Bill, I like the comp and symetry of the blooms. The colours are very rich and give alot of punch. Well done.

Bil,
Indeed, the high key background does set off the flowers well, and you chose three flowers. Not sure if that was because you had the idea for the great title, or if your making a subliminal statement about the rule of "thirds" . All in all a very nice addition to your series of Iris images. I'm all thumbs and they are all up on your series.

Bill a beautiful image and arrangement. I really like the V shape from the leaves. The image is balanced nicely.

Bill,
A beautiful image. I would appreciate some explanation of your technique for this one. I need to learn.

My first thought was exactly the same as David's, love how the 'V' shape of the leaves anchors the bottom of the frame, and also encompasses the blossoms. Lovely arrangement, colors, and the high key treatment is beautiful!

Excellent Bill. I love how they all appear to be on (or very close) to the same focal plane. Great use of the high key BG. A really wonderful shot!

Bill,
Everything works but for me this is as fine an example of symmetry and echoing patterns in composition as I've seen. Brilliant comp.

Amazing comp here. It's just like the comp of a painting would be.

Great title, and another incredible high-key shot with these Irises. Please print this one very large! Pure art, Bill.
