This is a beautiful shot of nature. You have framed it well. The light and shadows, colours and composition have worked out well. Good luck!

Very clear and impressive "portrait of a flower." It is amazing what can be achieved by a cell phone camera! My admiration! The drops of water look like little translucent jewels! Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest!

Wonderful photograph and the details with the droplets of fresh water are so nice to View.

Jewell,
A beautiful picture of your blue Bearded Iris it's petals encrusted with liquid Diamonds sparkling in the light. As the flower stands out clearly from the dark background.
Artistic composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.
Susan

Gorgeous Iris, especially with the raindrops, the varied colors in purples, lavenders, off-whites, a touch of yellow and the gentle stem. You have blurred the background really well too.

    Welcome, artist friend Jewell. How are you doing? I'm finally over the terrible case of shingles I had, just some scarring after almost seven months. Have a blessed day always.

    Omg that's a horrible thing to endure.
    I have been busy creating mixed media with collaged paper, ink, and paint.
    I will hopefully be opening a coffeehouse gallery in the next month or so as well!

you did a nice job Jewell capturing this beautiful purple iris with the refreshing water drops; I have only a few in my garden and of course I'm jealous when you write that your yard is saturated in irises;

Noce touch of the water drops. The lighting and the dark background support each other perfectly. DOF is well captured. Light balance is well controlled. Well-done.

HI Jewell, Love the angle of shot and the slight curve of the stem. This Iris is very pretty. Love how you caught it just after the rain. I think it stands out well against the background too! Nice selection for the Flower Contest!" Good Luck! :o) Nancy

This purple Iris is truly beautiful, and I especially like the little drops of water on the petals, and also how lovely the light is falling on the flower.

The photo is sharp and it is such clear and well defined details in every part of the Iris, and the exposure is spot on.

The format and framing is perfect, and the flower has got such a fine placement within the frame. Indeed a lovely and well taken photo Jewell, and with an excellent DOF. I wish you luck with the contest.
