An Iris For Becky

You created a nice enchantment for your Iris. It does not look like a photo anymore, but like a drawing made with colored inc on a watercolord background. I like you limitation of color, all those beautiful shades of blue with yellow as highlights. The flower looks really good, but I think a square frame would emphasize the Iris better.

Hi Cleo, I'm a little late with my reply to your view, but I defnitely wanted you to know how much I appreciate your review. . I'm glad you enjoyed this. You might be right about having a square frame. There is some empty space there. Thank you for the wonderful compliments! :o) Helvi

You're most welcome. :o)
Don't worry, I am often late myself.
Comment from nature rules
Thank you Helvi...for this beautiful Iris...it is definitely a framer. Your shadows around your flower add some wonderful depth instead of a seemingly flat image on a solid background. You did a fine job. I like the texture you added to the background. It is very subtle and again..adds much to the image. I believe I would have skewed the image a bit or cropped it so as not to be directly in the center. For some reason I rarely center anything. But many people choose the centered composition..especially while framing and hanging on their wall. This is really lovely. Thanks for describing all of your work. Wow! And thank you again, Helvi. I believe I will be done cleaning out my portfolio by the end of July.
Stay in touch. And enjoy your photography and sharing here on FAR! sincerely, Becky

Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Why, oh why?!?
Is this true?
She had not told me about leaving this site!
I know it's because of some undesirable people who want to dominate FAR with their evil ways!
How I'd wished Olga & NanaB would establish a site far from these contra vidas!
Should I leave soon too?!?
Thanks Helvi for this endearing creation as a great tribute to our dear friend Becky!
She's one of the main reasons why I stayed longer here...!
What shall we do now?!?
I hope Tom will do ASAP something logical to end this great artists/friends leaving this site one by one!
WHO WILL BE THE NEXT, TOM?!?
ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT THE REST OF US STILL WANTING TO SHARE A HARMONIOUS CAMARADERIE AMONG THE FRIENDLY ONES?!?
WE ARE THE MAJORITY!!!

Hi Dick, Becky told me herself. I had just become an official fan of hers and was surprised to find out she was leaving the site.
I don't know why she is leaving the site, she didn't say.I LOVE her creations and it will be sad to see her go. She loved my Iris so much she helped promote it. She is gem!!!
I plan on staying here in the past I've run into some unkind people but not presently. I enjoy Avmurray, Angelheart, Alaskapat, Sange, and others including you. Thank you for the wonderful six star rating My Friend. I appreciate it very much! :o) Helvi

What a wonderful tribute to a wonderful lady. This is the type of photo that Becky would post showing her artistic talents and imagination. You have many of those same talents and I look forward to seeing more of your works Helvi ~ Steve

Yes, I have enjoyed looking at and reviewing your nice image. Your central and almost central composition offers us an enjoyable look at your pretty bloom. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely done!

Very sorry to hear that Becky is leaving the site. We have had many interesting conversations and her work was very strong. Your artistic rendition of an Iris is a fitting tribute. Well treated and well presented. Very nice.

Hi Charles, I think a LOT of people will be sad about Becky leaving! She was super talented! Thank you for thinking this was a fitting tribute to Becky! I wanted to create something lovely and naturally about nature. I'm glad you enjoyed my image! Thank you for the wonderful review! :o) Helvi
Comment from Nancy Montana
This is a fitting tribute to Becky, Nature Rules. A tremendous amount of work and manipulation has been done to produce what is a lovely flower. The subject is so delicate with the veins of the flower showing very plainly. Thank you for making this wonderful tribute and for sharing it.

Oh noooo! I missed that Becky is leaving and I am so sad to hear that. This is a wonderful tribute to her work. I love the colors you used. The fine veins in the petals are expertly rendered. The deep purple throat is lovely.
