![Yellow Iris](https://images.naturephotographers.network/original/3X/f/6/f6ea63679ccc2aed046aa1d25ece050b907a0744.jpeg) I frequent a provincial park close to my home where some yellow irises bloom in early June each year. I usually stop and enjoy the flowers as most people walk by. They flowers are in a very wet wooded area close to the river. I like the pop of yellow in an otherwise very green environment. I’ve been shoot more wildlife recently and tried some compositions with my 200-600 lens. ### Specific Feedback Requested Any feedback welcome. Just to note that the are a fair number of flowers but access is limited without leaving the trail. ### Technical Details 1/25, f/8, iso100. 600mm on full frame mirrorless cropped to 8x10. There is some room to move the flowers a bit to the left or right. Tripod and shutter on timer to reduce vibrations. Processed in LR. Some edge cleanup and high-pass filter sharpening in PS ---

Bryan, the long lens did an excellent job of isolating this Iris flower against the solid green BG. Inclusion of the elongated stem adds nicely to the overall view as well… 🤠 ---

Bryan, the yellows show very well while being nicely color coordinated with the greens. The water drops are a fine extra touch. ---

Great catch with the flowers intertwining like that. The 600 lens allowed for a wonderful blurry background. Well done. ---

Wonderful capture, showing off the abilities of a 600mm macro! The flower stem is so beautifully rhythmic.
