Nice flower. Iris are hard to get. I might suggest less DOF to blur the BG more.

Ken: Looks just a touch hot on the yellows but a pretty solid shot. Well done. >=))>

Really nice environmental portrait Ken. I agree with Rd on a little more OOF BG, but not a deal breaker for me. Well done.

Background is not a problem for me - may be open up the shadows on the right if at all. Yellows are a touch hot (using diffusers will solve the directional light issue easily) as Bill said. Otherwise a superb portrait of the Iris Flower.

Ken, the yellows may be a touch hot, but you did maintain nice detail in the petals.
