This is such a spectacular looking photo....and even if there is an "even" number.... most would yell at you to have at least 3....but not me (smile).... I love the blurred green background and how proudly these two fairies stand facing the heavens and letting us enjoy their presence even if just for a little while. I never heard of fairy irises; therefore, I am even more happy that you shared them with us. And to get 2nd place.....how wonderful for you. Congratulations......BRAVO BRAVO....clap, clap, clap.

I love the rectangular vertical look as well. It is perfect for this photo. This photo has all the bells and whistles to be noticed. Thanks for sharing.

    I know three are magical numbers... this setting was devoid of one... but just had to go for it. Thanks so much Shatzling!

It is a beautiful capture, which shows us why the flower got its name. The flower seems precious. I almost see fairies sitting in the center singing their lullabies to baby fairies.
You composition has elegance and softens, but the capture of the flowers is crisp. I admire the natural coloring. The background shows us that the Iris is in her environment, the shades of green in the background emphasize the flowers.

These are pretty flowers. I like the delicate texture of their petals and the frayed, wing-like edges on some of them are interesting. The softness of the color is attractive. I like how you captured the center designs with a three dimensional appearance. The tiny hairs stand out well.

Who could not give this a "HIGH SIX" for stunning beauty! Gorgeous presenting. Vivid, clean, sharp and love that BG. Love that so soft white on the flowers. So well done as always, well done.

What an elegant pair of irises. Their color is fabulous and the cropping could not be better. Both blossoms are sharp and the background is complimentary.

They are delicate and feminine. I like the faintest touch of lavender at their throats. I like the muted leaves in the background. I have never seen white ones either and I am pleased that you posted them.
