Regina Regalia

After the first bloom our Regina Iris didn't do much but yesterday and today buds were busting out like crazy. Kind of liked how this bud is crowding up into the fresh flower. All three of these should be open tomorrow so I'm anxious to see how the group looks. The BG is a wooden fence. I was too lazy to go get an artificial BG of some sort and the fence is growing on me. All comments welcome. >=))>

I think that the fence gives the photo a nice sense of movement Bill. I like it.

I like how the fence anchors and amplifies the lean of the iris. A nice one, Bill!

I like the fence and the depth of field that keeps it interesting. Great work.

Blue and yellow: a contrasted marriage, typical of the Iris. A beautiful photo, Bill.
