Lovely, Larry. Your depth of field works for me and the lighting is superb. I also love that kink in the stem-it adds a lot of character.

The iris is such a wonderful subject and your presentation shows its curves and frills nicely. Also like the mat and framing. Can’t wait for spring flowers to appear. Weather tonight - more snow.

Larry: Wonderful subject superbly rendered. I especially like the lighting and overall presentation. :+1::clap::+1:>=))>

Well done, Larry! The lighting is excellent—the iris seems to glow from within, yet the detail holds up well. As Sandy suggested a little more room all around would help, but it is really well balanced as is.

Most excellent, Larry ! The lighting, as ever in your work, is superb.
