A very beautiful visual presented here this amazing flower. The petals seem surreal. Composition, shades, tones, and background highlight your subject in a very pleasing way. Very well done. Thank you for sharing and congratulations on being recognized!!

So lovely. Angle and focus is superb showing the vivid details of the colors, shapes, and textures of this tiny iris. The abundance of negative space all around gave your subject plenty of breathable room and I love it. The low lighting also gave the overall scene a certain sense of tranquility.

I like this shot of the Iris flower because it is so classical in its concept and execution; the light, colour, and composition have worked well. Good effort!

Your central composition is engaging. I think you low perspective aids in your composition. Very well photographed in good lighting, sharp focus, and outstanding details and clarity in your image. Good artist notes! Your dark diffused background compliments your work accentuating your subject beautifully. Beautiful work and thanks for sharing.

The white is pretty well exposed in this shot showing off a good amount of detail in the petals. The design and colors of this flower are really pretty. I like how well the center stands out in this image.

I want to like this photo because iris are a favorite flower of mine and several things work well in your photo, especially the shading of the white petals. However, the black specs look like bugs to me! I'm sure they're not...and they belong there...but I would have enjoyed seeing another position of this flower where the black doesn't show.

    Thank you for your thoughtful review. Yes the black spots are part of the petal's markings.

Very good close up of the lovely African Iris. I like the angle you used for this, showing the centre of the flower and the different colours amongst the white petals. Very good lighting and focus. Great composition. Suzanne
