Superstition.......

Abstract closeup of one of my special iris blooms.  It is called superstition and really is closer to black than what the macro is picking up here.

A second photo of it with the macro still pulling out more reds or violets which it does not have.  I may go out in an evening and try to take it without macro just to see if I can get to it's true blackish coloration.  I have 12 more buds to experiment with so you will see more pictures of it.
