This is an amazing close-up

wow!

very impressive!

This is what we call "close"

Thank you for your kind comments I wish I had something in the iris though to make it more intresting besides my lense

Oh my gosh! this is incredible! well done!!

Congrats

This is beautifully taken author. Love it

Beautiful flower, background is a little overpowering. If you could have got the flower further away from the background it would have been better.

Thank you friiskiwi. I will re-shoot tomorrow!

Ok. I will hold my vote

she's right. You will get that DOF if you have the flower up above the background but I see great things with this shot

Had to photo another type of flower. The iris' were destroyed from the storm this morning.

Don't you hate when that happens. New flower is better.

Yes! I was so disappointed but I love this one so I guess it all turned out good! This is the first shot I've taken that had water droplets that turned out decent. Thank you friiskiwi!

Fantastic

These cloud shapes are unreal! We get nothing like this here in Florida. The bottom ones look like people. WOW!

Sweet, how long did you wait for that shot?

It was just there, I took a series..

Very unusual cloud formation.... GL
