John, this is really awesome! I love the composition and the perspective.The delicate folds of the petals and lines with touch of yellow really stands out... almost another dimension! Very creative and excellent processing!

OK, John, I think this is my new fav! You can get lost in the subtle differences in colors, the curves, the depth to the image. I love the lines leading into the image. Beautiful work

Beautiful light and tones. I agree the composition is excellent. Very nice work.

I really like the colors and the composition. The circular lines in the upper portion with the verticals in the bottom is very effective.

[John Storjohann]

Hi John, another great Iris comp. Very well done!

The lighter shades of blue work so well here, with the darker blues in the center of the flower, flanked by yellow wings. Love how you have captured the gorgeous shapes and curves of the petals, and the veins. I could get lost in the center of this outstanding image.
