A good looking nature image posted here! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a very enjoyable view of that beautiful light blue bloom. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well taken!

A blue Iris, such a beautiful flower; colors are well shown here. However I think it is out or focus and not as crisp as it could be. The muted green background shows the Iris's colors well.

This is an Iris. Its botanical name is Iris Reticulata Dark Blue. Your portrait of it is absolutely stunning. It looks as though it is creeping out of the darkness seeking the light, thanks to the way that you shot this. The colors are rich and stunning.The imagery is sharply focused and the focal point is very well placed.Overall a beautiful composition.

Hi Paul, At first I thought this was an Iris, but now I'm not sure! I think the shot you took of it is stunning! The focus is wonderful as is the lighting. You show this delicate gem off beautifully! Love the way it stands out against the dark background. You said the colors are pretty good, I think they far surpass that! I enjoyed very much! :o) Nancy

Hi Nancy, a wonderful review for which I am really grateful. The general opinion is that this is an Iris. I know the names of three (!!) flowers of which this is not one ... learn something everyday.

Hi Paul, Learning is always fun! I'm still not sure if this is an Iris but I'll go with the group! LOL Loved your flower! :o)

A very lovely visual presented here this amazing flower. I wonder what type it is. I love the background that you've used to highlight your subject and the little bit of foliage that adds to this wonderful visual. Very well done. Thank you for sharing.

Such a lovely scene of this bluish iris against the dark greenish background. Sharp and prominent details resulting from excellent focus, angle, and exposure setting. I like the clarity of colors, too. The landscape orientation fits well. A great entry to this contest, Paul. Wish you all the best!

Thanks soul, I really appreciate the review. Not a contest entry though, there's a flower festival in one of the adjacent villages this weekend, fingers crossed I'll find an entry there.
-
Oh, mia culpa! My mistake. Have fun with that Flower Festival. Looking forward to see your entry.

Well, the flower festival was a complete bust. We went, had a beer and returned home, I took one photo which was rubbish. Sigh ...

Well, at least you have a beer!

Yep, always think positive ... in spite of everything
