Its like the flower is singing. Lol. The clarity is great. The capture of the light is great. The angle of the shot of this flower is great. The image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall

A very nice looking flower. The exposure gives you great detail in the white petals which stand out sharply from the soft backgroud. The cropping is artful and the colors are beautiful.

This is beautiful! I like that the background is in the dark green colors...it sets off the white Iris very nicely! The focus is spot on! The lighting is good! Great job and a pleasure to view! Lori

A beautiful close up shot of this white Iris taken from a great angle, capturing it's full form in all it's glory - great clarity and good balance of light shows the intricate detail in the light white petals, with the exposure just right (I've spent hours battling with photos of white flowers trying to get this right!) and contrasting beautifully with the dark green verdant background. The new stem creeping through is a great addition, a lovely shot well done.

thanks a lot Ed for your kind comments;
for white, you must set the amera to the maximum dynamic range and set on the dark side

Comment from DrCarlton
Although I would regard this more a singular illustration than a true work of art, I was particularly drawn to your expert depth of field control which, in this particular image, projects an uncanny, three-dimensional view. Very well done and thank you for sharing.

Gorgeous iris Fred and I love the angle you have used to take this from showing the full beauty of the flower. Exposure is excellent and the focus spot on with good dof. Well done :) Mary

Quite a nice flower shot presented here. Your full and central composition gives us a good look at the iris. Like the nice detail you have captured in the petals. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely taken!
