Periphery

As a rule I try not to post too many flowers unless there is something a little unusual about them. I think this iris may fit that criteria. I love the two toned look of it as if someone took a paintbrush and lightly skimmed the edges of the petals with violet stain.
Love ya bunches dad♥

What a beautiful subject. Intact, unlike my Iris which have been nibbled to rags by the snails. Gorgeous. Fav!

[Dyan Stevens]

Neat askew pov. Lovely flower!

[Chris Johnson]

I've been trying to be careful with too many flowers too but sometimes you find one that you can't help but shoot. This one is formed beautifully with amazing color!

[Diane]

I love the POV and the contrast between bricks and flower. Great detail and colors. Plus, I'm not sure you can post too many flower shots. . . .

[Darlene]

Sometimes that helps to make something a bit mundane a little more interesting. Having the brick background helped with that too I think. I'm glad you have a similar one Lisa and I wonder if this motivated you to take your great snail shots Daisy? Thanks especially to all of you who gave this one a FAV and please forgive me for being so slow to respond to all your great comments
