The Color Purple

C & C requested

realy great shot... love the litte "fuzzys" wish they had more detail... if the shot was a little darker... they would pop... and the shadow detail in side the flower would fade... i think it would make a more dramatic photo ... just a thought... good job none the less

I think you should crop the photo, cutting off the botton half

Hi Stacey, Colorful, but too much going on for a coherent composition and the asymetry and lack of focus in the beard (attention draw) are disturbing. I know the attraction to make something work, many of these irises have great color and detail. I have worked with this junction from this perspective and crop-I havnt found a good solution yet. Keep on trying-you might solve the puzzle. Kind Regards, Gary
