I usually wait until after the first of the year to bring flowers into our bathroom studio but I saw these Iris in the store today and could not resist. Going to work them as they bloom this week so expect a few more. All comments welcome. >=))>

The iris is always a big inspiration for you. Bill, I still have vivid in my mind more splendid iris portrait that you have taken this year. Very good image.
Cheers.

Just beautiful lighting, Bill, and a fine composition, catching the one petal opening before the others and suggesting the rhythms of growth. Love the presentation, too
