A very fine shot with superb depth of field and very sharp details. I like the texture of the foreground petal and the attractive perspective. Which lens was used for this one?

Excellent close up of this beautiful rust coloured Iris - I've never seen one that colour. I like how you filled the frame, letting us see right into the centre of the flower. Excellent lighting and focus showing great clarity and detail in the intricate markings of the petals. Lovely composition. Suzanne

Fred,
A beautiful picture if the throat of The Rust coloured Bearded Iris showing the stamens (the beard) & the pistil curved above the stamens. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
