It's stunning Annie, I love the colors and great details, a beautiful composition of the Iris, a universal flower that has brought joy to every home. An excellent work of art my friend;)

Outstanding capture. When I was 9 yrs. old I had the measles. A neighbor boy brought me a bouquet of these. I'm pretty sure his mom made him! Blending of the colors are wonderful.

The iris is a beautiful flower, a beauty you have captured expertly in this image. I love the artists notes on this too!

Hmmm I just remembered where I have seen this type of work before. There is an eyewear manufacturer that uses a similar technique in their advertising but using female models wearing glasses. Anyway another beautiful piece for sure, as always great technique. colors and fine detail. Well done.

Purified, simplistic forms of flowers. Your work is strong and yet strangely soothing.It is the photo-journalistic quality that grabs me. Good luck in the contest!

This is just beautiful.
Actually, I like the part
of the artwork that is
misty and in the background.
It gives a great background
for the close up and make it
look even prettier.
This is just so nice.
Thanks for sharing
