Iris

[Jonathan Ashton]

Handheld, Canon 7D Canon 180mm macro ISO 400 1/1600 sec f4
After a rain shower I was having a last check to see if there were any dragons or damsels about, there weren't but I liked the way the evening light isolated this iris, it is located just a few feet away from my garden pond.
All C&C welcome.

Hi Jon. I can see why you were attracted to the cool lighting on this flower! Nice detail in the whites and the shadows, the water drops add interests, and you have excellent sharpness where you most need it. Very nicely done!
