For a change of pace from all the parrots. Haven't had the lensbaby out for awhile. This comp was commanding some attention. :wink:

Canon 5D MkII lensbaby 3G

Thanks for all the comments on my previous post. Much appreciated.

I love the silkiness and the colors complementarity in this beautiful image. Perfect dof choice.

Drop dead gorgeous, Bob. What's the BG? Inquiring minds want to know.

Strong lines, colors and shapes in the dominant elements Bob but it's the bg that really makes the image for me. Superb work. No suggestions.

Wow Bob. GORGEOUS! I love the point of focus, the yellow in the BG, and the lines. Wonderful in every respect! This is VERY inspiring.

For inquiring minds... the BG is a fading freesia bloom.

Very well composed, Bob. I've tried something like this in the past
with a Dutch Iris but failed to pull it off. I like your DOF, and orange
is a wonderful BG color.

Outstanding. You have make the parrot worked for you and I am sure you are going to make this iris work just as hard. Your recent images are just so beautiful.

Supremely beautiful, Bob ! Everything about this works so well - the touches of texture are just enough to delight the eye, the colours are well blended and the composition is truly elegant.

Beautiful with the implied motion, Bob-- the s-w-o-o-p of the petals through the frame. Good getting the lines sharp. Really lovely image.
