This variety of iris always makes me think of fleur de lis, thus the title. Not much to shoot in our garden now so I picked up a bunch of these little beauties this morning and brought them to the studio. All comments welcome. >=))>

Beautiful. I especially like the flow of the foreground petal.

Beautiful flow in this image, Bill, and the dof works well. The lower yellow curve really pulls my eye into the image. Well done.

Hi Bill

Excellent detail and color. i too like the flowing lines. A little crop on top would make this image even stronger

You always find an angle, Bill. Sweet!

Beautiful colors and well composed for the lines and flow, Bill. Like Albert, my inclination would be to crop some of the oof area at the top, down to just above where the yellow starts on the far right.

Hi Bill, also a great composition and focus where it needs to be - I agree with the crop suggestion and would just pull the highlight bottom right a touch ...
