Very nice Gary. The third one is especially nice. Wait, I went back and looked again- there is no winner- they are all blue ribbons. ;)

What a superb set Gary, you have renewed my faith in the EF50mm1.8 II. I have always been anti because 50mm 1.8 was always too soft IMHO great for that dreamy look though.
These are just perfect looking forward to more of your images.

Thanks! I never use it much but they had opened and it was raining so I though why not.

Hi Gary :-) This is a nice set for me but #1, I like the colour, pink is new to me, I must look out for these in my Garden Centre..tfp :-)

You just can't beat the bearded iris, and your images here do them stunning justice. Your depth of field on each of these is plum perfect. One of the thing that I have always like about these is the fact that they come in hundreds of colors and combinations of colors, as these three show.

I am drawn to the second image, as the two color ones have always been a favorite of mine, plus I like the realism indicated by the damaged pedal. . .

Good work.

Thanks, I almost kept this one out because of the slit in the leave....
