First bloom

The irises in the tree box outside our house are starting to bloom. This one has always been my favorite.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.

The form is so convoluted, but in spite (or because) of this 'tis so very pretty. Immaculate detail in this image.

All in the frame she is beautiful smiling perfectly for you probably due to the nice light.
Bokeh and resolution competing both excellent.
