2 June

This little iris got bounced around alot last night during the storms and ended up on the ground, kinda beaten up but still with a lot of life left in it. The purples seemed glorious, so I tried lots of things to make it look a little soft and more abstract, kinda in a spacey sort of way. Watch out for heavy rains.

You gave it a last hurrah after the beating. It is beautiful. v

A feeling of entering the forbidden intimacy of the flower. Very well done.

Love it! I can never make irises look interesting. This is a beautiful framing job and super selective focus and color. V.
