A loverly color combo. COMP is loverly too, as is the wall :) Did you try different rotations with the flower?

Fantastic lighting and exposure, Ovidiu! My goodness but the center of the flower almost glows! I might suggest a slight bit of gaussian blur on the BG just to finish smoothing out the wall a bit more. That is one gorgeous iris!

Yes I did try, but liked the most this one because of the position of the petals on top.

Thanks Ovidu. Those crossed petals are very loverly. And elegant.

Beautiful! As one who is trying to perfect the iris and am a long way from that, I am envious. Great shot.

Ovidiu, it looks like you got the exposure spot-on! Those colors look fantastic. I really like that BG.
