This looks very nice Bob. I have never seen this kind of iris before. The drops add a to the image IMO Just on my laptop, but might tone down the brights on the lower part of the petal..

Hi Bob Agree with Jackie on the light tones I think having the lighter tones close to the top hurts the image, eyes seem to go to the light area then out of the frame !! Might crop above the blue border to do way with most of the light top, seems to make a strong image. Will wait to see what others think !!! btw great sharpness with the selected low shutter speed, would probably up the ISO since quality would not suffer with your camera !!! Excellent !!!

Hi Bob,I feel you handled the subject well compositionally. Agree with others on the brightness on the upper right with Al giving a good crop suggestion. The image is evenly lit with a nicely muted backround...

Hi Bob - agree with the cropping suggestions - certainly up the ISO - whilst this is sharp a little wiggle room does not hurt.
Colours and BG are very nice.
Good show :)
