Pink Iris

Gallery: FloraPosted June 26, 201179 views7 comments

This is a small delicate iris taken with Canon 7D, using 100-400 IS lens. I buy many perennials at the end of the season and then get surprised with the variety of their blooms. I like how it emerges from behind the leaves giving it a 3D effect.

Comments always welcomed.

The settings you chose to highlight this wonderful bloom put this over the top in my opinion Patricia. Wonderfully taken and displayed.

Beautiful Iris! I particularly like how the out of focus leaves provide a soft bg for the flower. Nicely done.

Perfect DOF. I like the way the stem recedes into the BG. Excellent all around.

Nice shot, great clarity of subject and a super backround. Makes the image seem to float.
