Iris

All comments welcome. Cheers, Sondra

Very nice and original way to show a flower! Great job.

The center yellow streaks seem to show some jpeg artifacts, probably due to sharpening/compression and/or size reduction, which is a bit of a pitty. Whas this manipulated in PS?

Nicely done! The swirl is very effective.

I like the abstract version of the Iris as well as the original picture, Sondra. The beautiful colours of the flower and particulair the soft light which is in both shots makes this composition so lifely and delicate. The swing you gave it is very nice. I like the graceful shapes of it but I think it's a pity that it is at the expense of some of the very nice little details as for example the sweet yellow stamens, but every advantage has its disadvantage:((( However a very nice shot! Cheers, Ada:)

Ada, thanks for your comments and suggestions. Cheers, Sondra
