Composed at Rose Hill.
There is an embarrassing though somewhat amusing story that goes with this, but it's too long to post here. An excerpt (flower only related) from my blog The Artist's Story:
"The subject in Rose Hill Iris really showcases the naturally abstract beauty inside of these flowers. I love the color transition in the fall from the darker reds near the top to the purples at the bottom, how the beard sits almost perfectly in the valley between the sides, and the subtle golden glow in the background. The soft tone combined with stunning glamour makes me feel like it expects photographers from miles around to knock each other over for the opportunity to shoot it. Considering my trespassing faux pas, that apparently makes me part of the fine art and nature paparazzi."
