Failure - a print at A5 showed it lacked detail, too great a crop (from a12+ MP compact). Thanks everyone for trying, but a dead parrot.

Don't be down Anthony...re-shoot if you think it is needed.

V. good to hear from you both - oddly, tho' the print is rubbish as a flower pic. it has a certain abstract/expressionist power. I may re-shoot an iris,(if we get some sun before they go over) but this image is about light and aspiration or something, not sure what - but it works on its own terms - now I've taken the good advice offered. For which very grateful.(And to L for introducing me to what has proved a very supportive and helpful site - the gangs of girlie sycophants - not mine of course! - on Flickr were beginning to nauseate.
