Yellow Flag in the rain

Also known as Yellow Iris and Water Flag.

One from the archives, taken in Cheshire in the mid 1980s. I was playing around with a high speed transparency film, Scotch Chrome 1000. I picked it for its pronounced grain and pastel colours, at times adding soft focus or diffusion filters.

I was trying to get an editor or publisher interested in the work. No one was interested at the time although some of the photos have proved popular over the years.
