I've really enjoyed working these irises and still have many I hope to post. Hope you're not tiring of them cause I'm not

. Had to use the 100mm lens due to some of the constraints of working in a relatively small space. All comments welcome. >=))>

Another beauty Bill. By the way Iris belongs to flowers I like very much. And you are presenting this flower in such a beautiful manner. The light here is just perfect and the details & textures excellent. Well done.

Superb whites and a lovely, graphic quality to the image, Bill ! The shades of green in the stems look great against the black bg. Not getting tired of these yet ( smile !! )

Bill - As good as it gets - light is superb and so is the composition which includes the two leaves for framing and a bud alongside the bloom.

Perfect. An elegant Iris on a black BG—high drama.

Stunning!

For one second, I thought Pat is posting again; the lighting, composition and processing here are first rate.

This is a lovely, graphic look at these iris, Bill. This would make a stunning poster.

Absolutely perfect arrangement here, Bill!

All of your work is gallery worthy, but these last few are ridiculous.
