very abstract. pleasing to look at. would have been better as a b&w.

Interior of an Iris

What a stunning and original flower macro! The intricate folds, wild spikes, yellow blotches on the "tongue", yellow-orange glow in the roof of the "mouth"--everything just works. It might have been a little bit better centered. Great looking photo!

Yes, quite stunning. Looking like canyons.

looking into it, it feels like I'm going to fall in

This type of flower photography is a cliche. Its really tough doing something anywhere original with flower photography because every guy and his dog has taken a shot at it. Just sticking the lens into the face of the flower and shooting away became hackneyed in about 1955!

Hello Gataen:

 

I have to agree with David Tan, the sense of depth and modulated color in the thumbnail almost suggests an afternoon photo in a slot canyon. Like your other recent Iris images, the soft texture of the new petals make this a delicate and unusual image.

WOW!!! This is fabulous. I dont care how many pictures I see I never get tired of seeing beautiful images such as this. The colors, detail, composition and texture are just amazing.

wonderfull

Well ahead of the average flower macro, good perspective.

A bit more depth of field on the tongue of the iris would be an improvement. Otherwise a nice shot.

nice shot with great texture - so many flowers around right now - even i took a shot at it - but i have noticed only a few worth writing home about - yours included

 

note to walter - all that can be done with flowers has been done ehhh - i guess we should all just give up and take piano lessons instead ;)

Interesting choice of field of focus.

Amazing colours Gaetan !
