Oh my goodness ! This is such a fancy Iris compared to the Siberian Iris that we have growing wild here.
I also love the crinkled edges and the fullness of these Iris, the petals make me think of a little Girls party dress,the purple , lavender and white petals are just lovely , I love the orange/ yellow center detail too.
The background tones work well to emphasize the blooms , I also think that vertical format works perfectly.
You have photographed these well my friend, spot on focus ths image is clear, exposure is perfect, colors and tones appear natural. Well composed and presented! Very best wishes to you in this contest!

    Hi Pat, I haven 't heard from you for so long that I was worried about you! So many people here have gotten ill from one thing or another that I was afraid you might have been one of them. It's wonderful hearing from you again and knowing you're ok! Thank you so much for the super wonderful review This is one of those lovely hybrids that's plump and bares beautiful colors. I'm thrilled you enjoyed it so much! :o) Nancy

Nancy this is a fabulous iris, The variegated shades of purple stand out so well against the bokeh. I didn't have to look very long to know it was yours, your style. The best of luck in the contest. Ray

A good looking entry into the competition posted here! Your fine and full composition grants us an enjoyable view of that lovely bloom. Colours, textures and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine! Well done and good luck!

Hi Nancy.. Love the very subtle hues of the blue range.

This take has excellent natural appearing color, contrast and detail. The edge highlighting I think was a good idea. Given the background color the edges of the blossoms would have been less distinct without it - Kudos.

Your camera settings are well established and have produced a high resolution image with a well chosen DOF. The focus of the petals is so very sharp I can see the crenulations very clearly.

Nice work... Bob
