The focus and detail of this beautiful iris is spot-on Sandi. I love the colour and you created fine DoF. All finished off with a complimentary frame. All comes together to make a delightful image.
My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Beautiful capture and the colours you captured one hundred percent in this photo and I love the light and sharp detail.Plus the back drop to this photo is also stunning.
Glad you put the qualifier in that this was from last year, as I'd be packing my bags for you're neck of the woods. There's snow in my forecast for the next couple of days.....[sigh]
The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
They are so Beautiful. I hope my Irises have survived the Winter and will show up in a couple of months. A very well taken photo with great lighting, composition and details.
