The Iris are still blooming. I have intended to shoot some images of the Iris around our house, but something always got in my way. Nice defused light from a cloudy sky. All comments are welcome.

Richard,

Very sharp and vivid. There's a tiny spec of something at the bottom edge just to the right of the stem that you might consider cloning out.

Beautiful, Richard. That lens gave you excellent dof at f13-this looks crisp throughout. I like the dark bg.

Beautifully crisp and well perfectly exposed against the dark BG.

Very, very nice Richard. I love the strong comp and the dark BG. The colors and details are excellent.

A gorgeous bearded iris, presented beautifully. The black background emphasizes the colors and graceful flow of the petals. Nice!
