I took this awhile ago but somehow overlooked it until now. BG is concrete.

beautiful colors, but they just don't seem to go well with gray.
I really like the details and veins in the petals; and that you included a bud but in a way so that it does not distract from the main blossom. you have such nice detail, that I would like to see the blossom huge in the frame. I'd much rather see that than stem or cement. :D

Ken - Subtle, delicate. Beautiful lighting and subject!

[Bob Miller]

This is very nice! the colors...... the details......the light....everything ....the bg works for me!

[OvidiuCavasdan]

Awesome! I like the color and details. well composed. Bg works for me!

[Julie Kenward]

Very nice, Ken! I can tell you really like challenges because iris are not easy to photograph! I don't really mind the pink/grey combo but...I wonder what a bit of blue added to the grey background would do? Might pop that pink even more. ???

I also think you could use a tad more sharpening on the lower petals towards the front of the frame. They don't seem quite as sharp as the rest of the flower.

Lovely presentation and comp. You're really finding your way with how to compose and then crop an image. The last several have been spot on. :D;):D

Lovely! You are doing a great job with Irises. The colors of this one are delicate. Grey is not my favorite bg, but it works ok here.
