Took my irises into my mini-studio (master bath) and got a number of shots that pleased me. All comments welcome. >=))>

Amazing delicacy of colouring and texture, Bill, especially in the R half of the image ! Beautifully composed and executed.

Bill

I like the right half of the image as well especially the transparent petal. Very delicate.

I sure do like the collection of gentle colors and how they flow through the frame. I also like the sense of "viewing out" that the folded petal offers. I do find myself wishing for more sharpness in the lower left quadrant, although I'm not sure that I'd like that to be completely sharp.

The 'extra' vertical frame really worked out well here Bill, nice.
I especially like the nearly transparent near edge, right side.
