A Iris from the Calendar Gardens. You can see I changed my title. Lol! The old samsung GX 1L with the sigma 70-300mm with macro option was used for this one. Trying to clean up some of those old files that seem to get forgotton.

Have a nice Sunday and thank you in advance for your comments.

Whether the title is 'Lily White' or 'Prima Donna' doesn't matter to me at all as this is a sublime post (again), and that counts Sandi!

A fine shot indeed. Love those pure white iris blooms. Actually there are alot of iris blooms I like but the white ones seem to call out to me.

Really gorgeous Tigz. Your old lens did the trick on this one. I think it is the user not the usee. Great clarity and the background really makes it pop. Much like JimboB's song.

Good post.

Perfect image Sandi. I need to take instructions from you....still learning my Nikon but I did buy a Monopod today. Maybe with that and the settings in my camera, I can get close to as clear as you can. Beautiful shot and I love it.
