The Prerequisite Flower Shot

Okay, let's get this over with. Are photography students required to shoot flowers at some point in their studies? It seems every amateur that posts online sure has. Well, here's my contribution to that venerable institution. Ken says to stop shooting flowers-go find more interesting things to shoot. So you won't be seeing any more flowers in my photos, unless I shoot a wedding or one just happens to be in a picture about some other subject. FYI-Irises shot at the Presby Memorial Iris Gardens in Montclair, NJ. Everybody brings their cameras there when these things bloom. They're out now, but this shot was from 2007.
