What a beautiful gift for your sister. Everything about this photo is dramatically soothing to the senses. The lighting is very enhancing illuminating with light and shadows.

Very nicely done Pat ~ Steve

And a very good looking gift it is too! Your fine, full and central composition of it offers an enjoyable view your lovely iris. The detail and colours are enjoyable. Nicely taken!

A beautiful picture of this soft purple Iris standing out in sharp contrast from it's dark background. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera technique & sharp focus.

Hi alaskapat

Wow! What a stark image this is. The blue against the deep dark background is very crisp and almost lifelike. Thanks for sharing this stunning piece of photography! R
