Tough leafed Iris
Taken this morning at cooper mountain. we also found Fawn lilly and mission bells as well as a different trillium blooming.

Nice one, Wade. I like the soft light on the flower. Would like just a bit more dof to get the back petals in focus, but hey, that's not a big deal. Great shot.

Lovely. I agree a little more dof would be nice, but by no means a deal breaker here. Nice job.

I'll vote for the DOF, but otherwise another nice Iris shot Wade. These have been productive!

Wonderful light on your subject, and the morning dew is a nice touch.

Beautiful shot! I don't mind the DOF but agree that if you wanted the iris to really stand out you do need more. I think it is awesome the way it is. Lighting is great.

Whoa, Wade! Spectacular shot. The light is beautiful for this portrait, the detail on the flower really crisp.
