After the rain stopped last Monday these little guys dried out pretty quickly. The near flower had also opened a bit more. Slightly different POV/Comp; same flowers as last post. All comments welcome. >=))>

I like this one especially, Bill. The extra space and the play of light and shade across the flower and the lower leaves give the plant just that bit more presence I feel.

Very nice again, Bill. I actually like this comp a bit better, and the light is very good, but I miss the saturation and raindrops of the prior version. Kind of a toss up for me. Both excellent.

I agree with Scott. Now if you could just baptize them with a few sprinkles of water...sweet! cool

Your beautiful photos of the Irises in your garden are back. I too prefer this version.

Unusual to make the rear flower the focus of the composition, but it works nicely in this case, Bill. I really like the lighting of this one.
