Iris Abstract #2

Same Iris as my last post but with a totally different mood

Canon 5D MkII lensbaby 3G

All comments/critiques appreciated

PS. I've been away this past week in Salem Mass for the Dutch Master art exhibit at the Peabody Essex Museum. If you are in the area and like art then you really owe it to yourself to see this show. This is the one of the largest private collection of 17thC Dutch/Flemish art and arguebly the best. It runs till the beginning of June 2011.

Really nice use of the Lensbaby. I'll have to get my hands on one. You got just the right amount of focus, and the comp looks great as well.

Dramatic and compelling image.

Stunning combination of brghtness and deep blues, arranged and treated with great depth and a feeling of motion that makes this more dynamic than a typical still life.

Another homerun Bob. The subtle hint of yellow/orange in the BG is excellent. The sense of movement is great too. I like everything about it!

Awesome work.

Gorgeous color Bob but it's the texture and comp that hook me on this one. Beautiful image. No suggestions.

Beautiful Bob! I love all in this image: angle, composition and, of course, the very warm yellow struggling against the surrounding cold blues. Spendid.
Cheers.

Another fine, sensitively handled iris image, Bob ! Wish you wouldn't post these lensbaby images, though - you'll be costing me money soon !! ( smile )
