Thanks Giuseppe, Glad you enjoyed this Iris. I forgot to mention earlier that a “light table” was used in this photo. Wayne ---

Ha, Kathy. Most of this days shoot was outside but I brought this one inside to the light table. I’m thinking that the high noise results from the high speed set. Thanks, Wayne ---

The high key works well to show the iris at its best. Nicely done. ---

Lovely, John. this has the look of an old floral illustration, even to the yellowish background. Very nicely done. ---

Thanks Dennis, Appreciate your comment. Yellowing on background is low setting on “light table”. Wayne ---

Very well presented high key image. Your choice of composition and lighting work nicely. May have to dig my light box out of closet.
