1 this one has my eye going all over looking for something to bitch about but has me coming up empty, super, super sweet buddy
2 & 3 I have never photographed Irises in this stage, I should! Both of these are gorgeous, ripe little packages ready to burst forth with the beauty of one of my favorite flowers. 2 gets the nod as the bg in 3 is a tad bright. Not bad mind you, without 2 around I would say 3 rocks
4 hmm, these types confound me but somehow they don\'t faze you my friend. You have the dof needed, would love to know where you focused on The top not makes the shot IMHO
I could go on all night beaming about these Karl. Like you said, a few years back. These take me back to when your florals first knocked me over and man did you take sh&t for them

#1 you just keep looking Tim, if ya find it I will fix it Imagine this, the frame right before this one I snapped had a what looked like a strange shadow right where the stem enters the heart, it boggled my mind when I saw it as I knew I would not have shot the shot with this blatant shadow..............this frame here was excellent? I went back and looked again, then it came to me, there was a silly hover bee that flew into the frame right at the moment I snapped as I recognized the dark spot as the body and the tow other faded marks as the wings
2 &3 they are much easier in this form But I like them like this and rarely get to get good shots of fresh blooms Thanks Tim
4 No, these are a challenge for me too. I guessed around on f/stop and where to focus, I knew I wanted the furthest back details to snap from the BG so that was my key to the shot, did you see the bees butt? And yes it was the \'topper\' of this flower that made me select it as the model
Lots of great times going \'back\' Tim, I enjoy those memories and challenges we had and shadowing each other around trying to learn all we could learn from those that graced us. Back then I had a nice little push from Terry D if you remember? I stuck with it and gained many followers and yes I did take a great deal of \'good sh^t\' with it and held my ground.
KarlA thanks you Tim
