Nice to see Irises bloom in your part of the US - we are still waiting for them to bloom here, John. I like the spot light effect on the Iris but a nice even lighting might have thrown some light for the base of the flower as well. I'd clone away the flower bit sticking to the right middle edge.

Very nice John. I like the way the side lighting gives it some depth.

I just love these iris's John, and you have captured this superbly. I might be temped to remove or darken the bloom to the right so as not to distract. Wonderful work.
