Last week I checked on Whispering Pines Park in Douglas County. It is tinder dry with hardly a flower-bearing plant visible. So, having a few iris in the backyard, I satisfied my yearning for some macro shooting with them.
I actually prefer the softer focus of #4 over #3, but like the others, I think that #2 is simply spectacular!
"No artist could duplicate the design intricacy, the color and the magic of this plant and its flower."
Yeah, but you had the ability to show off that flower's color and magic with your eye and skills. Clone out that small white tendril laying on the petal in the foreground, and call it 'great' (..or an 'Iris Symphony')!
Well done, Rod, and count me as another fan of #2!
Sadly, it seems as though the wildflower crop down on the Front Range this year is going to be disappointing...I'm glad you have something nice to shoot in your yard.
Those are all stunning, Rod! I was at Whispering Pines last Saturday and not much other than some very nice paintbrush there. You need to post these over on the Flora Gallery, too!
