Dennis, Rob, thanks.
We get scads of irises every year and I’ve photographed them often. I think they’re difficult subjects. I have yet to get an image where there wasn’t something I didn’t like.
“I wonder if it would be further abstracted if the photo (or a new composition since the Iris are at hand) was cropped to show blue hues and no other colour.”
That’s a good idea, Rob, although I think it would need to be a different composition.
