[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
From my garden, it had been accidentally broken when weeding, so I took it into the green house.

I have one of those cubes you use to take photo's in about a meter square, with various backgrounds, they stop stray light and shadows and any breeze.

I'm not sure about the boarder,, please feel free to change it

Thanks
Gil

Beautiful and elegant shot Gil.
Love the blue and yellow on the black background,
really has some good contrast.
Excellent work with the light as well.

Hiya Gil

This is absolutely stunning, lovely composition, excellent lighting and good sharp detail and colour, In my opinion the border is just fine

TFS regards Helen

Hi Gil
Mysterious Iris... Simple but beautiful photo
regards

Hi Gil
You have made this Iris look very beautiful. Very good image with good sharp detail. I do not like your border and think that with the black background you do not require any border.
For the image within the border. Well done.
Mike

Beautiful shot, Gil...
Simple, elegant, lovely lighting and color and superb detail. I am not fond of huge frames on photos so I have done a WS with a different frame. Hope you don't mind. Kind regards,
Shelly

A superb image Gil. The iris is perfectly positioned and stands out well against the black. Lovely colour and very good detail. TFS,
David

Hi Gil,

Beautiful iris against the black. It's stunning! The border doesn't do anything for my personal tastes. I think this flower holds its own without the border.

Super shot! Neat having the cube to shoot items.

thanks for sharing, Lisa

Hi Gil,
Your little gadget has certainly given you some super lighting.
The flower seems to be just floating in the frame, well done.
Talking about frames...I like what Shelly has done for you.
Cheers,
Pete.

A lovely capture of this beautiful iris. The colours and placement of the flower is exceptional. I am also not sure of the framing - maybe a bit heavy for the dainty composition. Perhaps just using a fine line from the colours (blue or gold) of the flower can work better. I like what ShellyOB did in her workshop.

Hi Gil,
This looks like a Japanese iris as opposed to the bearded iris variety. The dark b/g really accentuates its beauty and simplicity. Very elegant. Best regards, Danilo
