Small white Iris. Taken in my garden in the early morning.
*****THANK YOU FOR VISITING ANITA'S PHOTOBLOG!*****
I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.
If I have made a mistake in a flower identification, please let me know!
A few words about the EXIF data, beginning in April when I began using Nikon D300 and the Sigma 105mm macro: My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site.
@António Pires: Glad you like it. I appreciate your taking the time to post a comment.

The power of nature; the first thing that came to mind was the propeller of ww2 fighter aircraft! That's strange isn't it?
Triangles are powerfull shapes! Good image!

@Ásgarðr: Thank you for commenting. It is fun to make connections, as between this Iris and a propeller. I think it helps us become more aware of the world we live in.

I really like the triangle composition and the black background. Very rich and elegant looking, Anita.
