Ms. I is starting to put on her show in my garden, and almost ready to join the other Iris's in bloom.

I used the canon 70-200 1:4 L USM lens handheld, with canon 40D, this lens does not have IS. The one that does is double in cost. :)

Thank you for your comments.

As long as you keep your shutter speed at roughly the same as your focal length ie:150mm=1/150..IS is Irrelevant..That lens being a constant f/4 should manage fine..Excellent picture...R.

Don't see any need for IS Sandi - excellent simple composition adds to the stunning beauty.

Obviously you have a steady hand or a tripod Tigz. The bokeh is perfect. You keep improving as a photographer and artist.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

What the heck "IS" might be?! That rigmarole of your trade is very much like our secret code. We must enlist Richie as SOS member. SOS AAR IIA [SOS Associate Agent Richie Intelligence Internal Affairs] for short:)
I love this image, dearest SAS.
Regardless of your misconduct in general [ref Skype!]. LOL

Your title says it SAS...she is indeed divine, and something of a temptress in this furled state as she hesitates to display her full beauty...wonderful photography and a fave for me.

For a hand held image you did amazing Sandy. The focus is spot on and the color is so natural. That lens and you do a really good job.
