Rare Opportunity

I took this on a rare overcast day here in Fort Collins, Colorado. Probably the only conditions where you could capture the beauty of this delicate iris. And as usual, this iris was photographed in my neighbor's garden. I'm lucky to have such an avid and generous gardener for a neighbor. Check out my "Marilyn's Garden" set to see what lies across the street from my house. (Zuiko 50mm macro, f/4.5, 1/1000 sec., 125 ISO, handheld)

 

P.S. - It makes me sad that I took this back before I started shooting RAW format. This could have been really nice, but for the noise.
