Winding down the iris shots; this may be the last but I sure enjoyed capturing and processing this series. This is from the first shoot. All comments welcome.>=))>

Your enjoyment comes through the images, Bill ! Another beautifully composed and lit study - the sweep of the petals is so nice, and the touch of stem in the LRC just right for balance.

Bill - The whole series has been exciting

- We enjoyed seeing the photos as much as you enjoyed making them.

Love the interpretation of Cheek to Cheek here. Two petals overlapping each other in a nice color combination.

Beautiful and very artistic shot. The Iris really stand out from the background.

This is neat, Bill. I like the sense that the two petals are bowing to each other. The series does a great job of looking deeply at these lovely flowers.
