[Leica] IMG: blue-eyed grass

[leica_r8 at hotmail.com (Aram Langhans)]

Nice shots.  I like the close-up for it's simpler composition.  The three on 
the lower left balanced by the one on the upper right.  Nice iris, too.  The 
background on the iris seems to be softer than the others.  Less harsh OOF 
areas.  The Nex-7 has some possibilities.  I will love to see your results 
with an R lens.

Of course, this is not at all a grass, but more closely related to an iris.
