Comment from Mara del Mar
Only I know that is a beautiful flower. Love the color and soft contrast. Amazing details, nice angle of the capture and the light, good DOF, and sharp focus, like the texture and the blurred on background. Well done.

There is such a variety of colours amongst the iris family! This is absolutely gorgeous in its soft mauves and yellowed tongue.

Well love the colours with a good b/g. Good lighting bringing out the detail in the petals and the yellow one is strong. Mary thanks for sharing
