  I don't know what you are talking about but that is one gorgeous iris lady!! Absolutely beautiful Heather.

I left some long winded explanation of my worm in the peony shot for you. You can follow me anytime if I can follow you for awhile. Have a great weekend.

  WOW girl, this is beautiful. What you did with that lighting is amazing and what a gorgeous look it gives this floral. I love the framing and composition, the way that the lighting dazzles the colors and I am so impressed with the little details being so sharp. You bring out the textures and I love the little things like the veins running through the petals. I think you have yourself a winner my friend. Stunning in its beauty.
Have a most wonderful day my friend.

  Finally taking a peek at your gallery . . it seems to be popping with medallions all over the place. This looks like black velvet in the background.
