Greg, am sure you have added another two seconds to your exposure, just to get back at me for noticing a change! this one enlarged has a powerful presence all of fits own, gorgeous image! also really like lighting on stem. might be just a weeee bit tight on top, or than again i could be getting pretty picky. its a lovely image this one. nice to see!

gosh you will think ive gone balmy. look here this explains it. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=13756814

Hi Roger,

Got it - I see your confusion - of course, Grigoriy's "iris" is actually a double oriental lily. We have the same thing , but for the world of me, we can't find the exact name.

Thanks for your comments - see you're getting back in the  swing of things!!
