Anyway, this is my week's entry:
I am also linking this to Bumble and Light because I am following her new weekly training "How to Take a Photograph" and today she asked for photos where we break the rules of composition and still love the photo. I'm a little nervous to link up since it implies that I KNOW the rules to break. However, I originally cropped this photo to the rule of thirds and didn't like it--at all. There was too much green on one side and just not enough space around the flower on the top and bottom. I couldn't take the photo at a wider angle because it was surrounded by dying flowers. So I might have broken a ton of other important rules or obeyed them; I don't know. I do know that my favorite part of the flower is smack dab in the middle of the photo and THAT is against the rules, right?
So blah, blah, blah...hope you enjoyed my Iris. It is my favorite flower.

Wow, that really is a gorgeous shot.
What a beautiful iris! I transplanted a bunch of these a couple weeks ago. I can't wait for them to start blooming!
Thanks so much for joining us with the Crazy Days of Summer photo challenge. I just love your iris. Following you now via GFC! Have a great day. :)
It's gorgeous Cedar! I love the bright purple against the green, the rain drops on top defined petals and also how you can peek right inside the flower.
Oh, I just love this gorgeous shade of purple --so rich and vibrant! I love the water droplets on the petals... wonderful capture. :)
lol on your hemming and hawing over your shot. I LOVE IT! It's just beautiful. The color, compostion, those tiny raindrops ... so glad you are joining us for crazy days of summer. Can't wait to see more of your work! And you're gonna LOVE your 50mm! Are you getting the 1.8 or 1.4?
Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous shot.
Beautiful! Gorgeous! Lovely! I'm not sure if centering your subject breaks the rules if you are filling the frame like this is. Also that fuzzy tongue part of the flower seems to fall on the lower horizontal third line and it is the focal point. Great job all around!
It's a beautiful shot! Love the water drops.
i just LOVE this..
i think the water droplets make it that much more captivating
Beautiful macro with beautiful framing, excellent color. A very exotic flower.
You really capture the colors of the iris. Wow. Love the photo challenge.

What a beautiful capture and I see what you mean about it flowers filling the frame ~ spectacular. I imagined the thirds photo and I think your crop was the best choice.
The colors are amazing! I LOVE this photo!!
