Hi Godfrey: The composition of the iris blossoms  the light is really great 
here, but I find the background a little distracting--I think it upstages 
the lovely elegance you've captured in the iris blossoms. Still, a great 
shot.  Cheers, Christine

Actually, looking at that again, I'm surprised you didn't clone out all
but one of the blooms !

there is a beautiful essay comparing the novel and the short story i
read recently:

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/05/books/review/Millhauser-t.html

quote
The ponderous mass of the novel strikes it as the laughable image
of weakness. The short story apologizes for nothing. It exults in its
shortness. It wants to be shorter still. It wants to be a single word.
If it could find that word, if it could utter that syllable, the entire
universe would blaze up out of it with a roar. That is the outrageous
ambition of the short story, that is its deepest faith, that is the
greatness of its smallness.

My $.02 worth -

I think it might be a stronger image without the lone bloom on the RHS.
