Taken late afternoon yesterday back in Criders Virginia at my mother inlaws. This is an Iris. I had trouble deciding when comp to use, so I chose this one.
I assume what looks like dust along the bottem of plant is pollen?

Canon 7D, 70-200L IS II @ 200mm, handheld, AP, 1/500sec, iso200, f/9, cropped out about 75% of image, around 5:34pm.

C&C welcome.

David,

I would certainly think that is pollen. I like your composition and for me these are hard plants to compose. The only thing I might do is clone a little of the blurred petal over the green gap in the back. Otherwise, I like this very much exactly as posted.

Dave: Really nice comp IMO and I like the small but significant improvements on the repost. BTW, when you post a repost you can edit your original title to indicate there's been a change. I did it for you this time. Well seen and very nicely captured. >=))>
