Nancy,
A very beautiful picture of the mid & pale purple Iris with curly edges to it's petals standing out from their blurred green background. Artistic composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.

Definitely regal and such awesome presentation!
As usually, your use of mixed media and enhancement of a beautiful bloom are impeccable done.
Great work Nancy!

Comment from Zilyram


You have done a creative Mixed Media edit Nancy which give the viewer the opportunity to concentrate on the main subject - the beautiful Iris. The focus is good and the colors appear natural. Like the background you have created.

nice capture. i like how you both blurred the background and outline the floral pets. the clarity is great. the capture of the light is great. the angle of the shot of this colorful flower is great. the presentation is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. creative approach and awesome work overall.

Comment from Charlotte Morse


Nancy you've done it again! Damn it you're always pinching my sixes!!
A stunning photo for this competition - okay you were right about the rocket! Lol
Beautifully focused with excellent dof, every inch is sharp.
Wonderful colours, and I particularly like the darker purple around the edges - is that how the iris was or is it your excellent editing? Either way it works a treat.
As always, I love the editing you've done, you've turned a beautiful flower into a stunning one! Very good luck in the contest.
Charlotte

    Hi Charlotte, I'm extremely honored you allow me to have one of your sixes! I'll pinch any sixes I can get! LOL Thank you so much for the lovely six star review even if it wasn't a rocket! The dark purple on the edges of the iris was added by me. I think it has a way of making your flowers stand out. I'm glad you liked the effect! :o) Nancy

    I loved the effect, I think it made the photo!
    You?re very welcome Nancy (she replied through gritted teeth as she possessively clutched her few remaining sixes tight to her body) LOL.

Post work as per usual from you really brings a zip to your photos and more so to flower shots as i think they require something different to lift them and this does,nice color as well...Brian

This is beautiful work and flowers as well. Fine photography. The background is done well also. The lovely flowers with dark trim make it look like a painting also. Best wishes in the contest, artist friend Nancy.

Oh Nancy! What a lovely image of these beautiful lavender Irises. They are some of my favorites! I remember the first time I ever saw an Iris! I was in awe. I was taking a little jaunt up in Colorado where I liked to do a lot of photography because the nature was just so gorgeous, when I came upon a quaint little country home with the most beautiful gardens I've ever seen. It was like walking in a mini botanical garden in the country. I actually pulled up into the driveway and asked homeowner if it was OK to take some pictures of her flowers. She was a cute little lady who invited me to come in. She served me the most wonderful cup of coffee I've ever had, then walked me through her gardens, telling stories. When I came across the irises they were the most fragrant I have ever had the opportunity to enjoy. I know this is not the type of review you're used to getting but every time I see an iris, I think of this woman and this wonderful experience that felt like a dream. It's not every day you run into people like her and her beautiful home and garden! Then, when I moved into our country home, here, way down here in Alabama, my first spring surprise me with loads of purple irises. And then all of a sudden I began to see several more varieties, the woman who lived here before planted the most wonderful garden, and it was a beautiful surprise! Because when we bought this home, it was autumn, and there were no flowers around!
So thank you for reminding me with your beautiful art of my wonderful memory! Irises will always be special!
You did a fabulous job on this digital work, making it appear as though you never had to do an edit! You are so good at what you do! Thank you and good luck in the contest! I wish you the best!
