My iris plants have finished blooming, and this is one of the last shots I got this year. I went back and forth between monochrome and color and finally decided on the black and white. It is a bit sad, but there is always next year.

I do not know about you all, but Blogger has ramped up its “mess” we are supposed to decipher. I am so tired of it. Now, I just click on the circle over and over again until I find one I can read, but a lot of the time I just let it go and move on. I do feel that more people have opted out from the word verification. THANK YOU! I just wish everyone would stop. It is a big pain in the neck which I can do without.
The black and white works well here. Very nice Genie.
ReplyDeleteThat is a truely beautiful photo.
ReplyDeleteMy iris were not as spectacular as usual this year. Must have been the lack of rain earlier in the season. I'm with you on NO word verification!

ReplyDeleteOh, but this is beautiful! Focus is very fine placed, and the light is excellent. Fine backgrond without disturbence. Well done :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful b&w shot!
ReplyDeleteI like it - half in and half out of macro - it offers various interpretations of sadness, perhaps!
ReplyDeleteWho knows what summer will bring for Genie in Photography - I am sure you will have fun and great shot in black and white. Super Genie
ReplyDeleteI was also sad when our irises finished, I love this study.
ReplyDeleteI do so agree about the menace of word verification! It just gets worse and worse.
ReplyDeleteYour iris is a delight. It seems strange to like a black and white photo of such a colourful flower, but I think the detail shows better without distraction. You have a beautiful photo here.
Great photos, - nice in B&W!
ReplyDeleteIt always is a bit sad. But you have a wonderful image. It is really nice in black and white.
ReplyDeleteExceptional!
