Iris
Had a few miniutes today to check out a local park. It rained this morning so I figured could catch a couple decent shots. This Iris turned out the best.

70-300mm @ 500mm eq 1/250 f8 ISO 100 no crop but ended up with a small file when I saved it, it seems fine though.

Very dramatic lighting! the water droplets are a nice touch also. It looks like it cropped out the right petal point. I hope you post this in the Flora gallery so we can see it bigger!

Kendall, this is the best photo that you've posted - great work!

Tim!

Excellent, Kendall. The lighting and color are amazing. My only nit is the right petal running out of the frame.

Kendall, the best part of this for me is the side lighting. Wish the petal on the far right wasn't clipped, but a nice simple image! Probably, my favorite image from you to date ! :toast:

Nice dramatic shot. I would like to see the full leaf on the right.
