And the Iris are struggling to poke their way clear of the grasses.
I am taking a bit of artistic license with the image above. Last year while taking a photography class I presented a similar photo for critique by the instructor and class. The prevailing opinion was I should have tried clearing all that "weedy stuff" out of the way so they could see the actual flower.
Oh, I did a bit of grumbling but spoke up and said that all that "stuff" blocking the view didn't really bother me.
But just so nobody feels cheated out of a clear view, and to show that my photos can be just as boring as anybody else's, here you go:

Both images are beautiful but I think I prefer the unaltered vision. I don't need to have a photo "cleaned up" to appreciate a beautiful flower. In fact, I appreciate the flower more then it's in its natural state. So ptooi on your class. A bunch of Philistines.
