Wow – a black one! Hard to photograph I suspect, but you’ve done good ; )
Patty Boyte replied
Thanks loads Richard. You’re so right…a huge challenge to photograph, at least for me. Especially when I couldn’t control the light.

Yes he’s local, I met him about three years ago, he breeds Iris and shows them all over the world.
