Comment from Envision
This is very pretty. I enjoy the crisp outline of the petals and how that adds to the clarity and focal point of the flower against the lovely softness of the background. The colors and patterns stand out nicely.

This is a well taken and enhanced close up photo. The Iris has pin-sharp detail. The colors are nicely natural realistic. The blown green background emphasizes the flower well. The photo is balanced and well framed. The light is a tad to bright in my opinion, You might take the brightness back a little.

Lovely close up of this beautiful Iris, Helvi, and I like what you did to present this. Excellent lighting and focus showing great detail in the petal markings. The blurred background really makes the Iris stand out well. Lovely composition. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne

Cool,Helvi!
This Iris blossom IS a rather attractive looking flower,isn't it?
It's got an interesting 'Semi Exotic' look to it that makes your photograph of it a very enjoyable picture to view! : )

This is gorgeous! I like the modifications you made to the picture. It looks like the iris is ready to leap off the page. The veins in the petals are are so easy to see. Blurring the background was a good call too. This way, all of the attention is on the flower. Great job!

Comment from alaskapat
The iris is such a favorite of mine, this one is especially lovely and very well photographed, the iris is well focused and clear to view, it shows very good detail in each of its petals and shows well the shape and structure of the iris, your exposure is well managed, the colors and tones are natural. The green background really works well to push the iris forward as well as complimenting the lovely purple tones. Your post processing was effective , this is well composed and presented! Best wishes to you in the contest my friend!
