Description
The answer is, "No! Of course not!"
Sometimes the stars all line up and you get something you never intended! This is NOT a composite image. Ann was standing a little bit away from me, in the next row over, bending down to read a tag. That's her hand and forearm you see. She's actually not very close to this flower at all. The stem on the iris must be off to the left and in back of the bloom. Makes it look like this blossom is floating. I SWEAR I did nothing to create this effect!
Of course I could have done a plain background, made this more artistic and less snap-shot-like. (It's such a great flower, I may yet do that!) But I have a million photos of beautiful flowers. I couldn't pass this up.

The colors and the light are gorgeous. Looks very beautiful!!
Great capture!
...you can't fool me --- that's the fabled 'Giant Yellow Northwestern Fluffy-Edged Begoniasaurus ' - highly sought after and coveted by flower hunters .......quit hiding it ! ----give it to the world .
What a very beautiful and very colourful flower this is. A gorgeous capture, Tara!
It's beautiful, but are you sure Ann wasn't shaking hands with a garden gnome, or stealing the fish off his little rod?
OH and I am indeed happy you didnt pass this capture. It is so lovely and also funny because the different sizes. You did such a splendid job gatting this shot. Bravo ! 5*
for sure not,but it looks great
Amazing yellow color here! The lighting is superb!
Looks like a meal for five LOL. This composition is perfect just the way it is, Tara. I love it.
Beautiful shot. Love the colours.
what a fantastic flower it would be if it was that large..... photography is like that isnt it? you never quite know what the image will turn out like... love the pic
LOL! I think it's threatening to swallow us whole. Delightful contrasts. Also glad you captured this, just as is :))
very vibrant color and an excellent macro even with Ann's arm and green thumb
Great capture! Its a photo worth your future work!
Beautiful work hugs lou x

Awesome shot!!!!!!!
Fantastic capture!!!! This is a true beauty! A tremendous effect you have naturally captured, I actually like the forearm in the photograph, as it gives us an idea of dimension, or perhaps distorts it..hehe... unique and original... fantastic texture and colours! Thank you so much for sharing with us, such a phenomenal image!
Fantastic collage... very great work my friend!
You are so bright at coming up with ideas.....such a fantastic shot.
LOL @ unstrung65!!! This is superb Tara and the composition is perfect as it is - it adds depth and curiosity to the shot. Beautiful vibrant colours and the textures are perfect. Excellent shot. xx
I love the frilly serrated petal edges on this humungous flower! A prize winner to be sure! Ann must have felt like a Lilliputian in comparison. Again, wonderful bright color, lighting, POV and contrast in this momentous capture, Tara!
my eyes like it too awesome work!!!
I love it and it gave me a chuckle! LOL Good shot and good humor.
Lovely image:)
fabulous shot..thats a great effect without even trying to create one..beautiful flower, so bright and yellow
A million???? I'm getting close to that # too!!!!!!! This is one stunning iris!!!! Excellent catch!!!!!!
Excellent and fun! I love images that are fun, and especially spontaneous! You could try to set up a shot like this and it just wouldn't come out this well. It's a winner Tara!
