I love Siberian Iris, William. One of my favorite flowers. I like the bold purple colors against the black background in your image. I also like the look of the bud in the LLC, although I am unsure whether it works well in the corner of the frame. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for looking Scott. There were two buds in the lower left corner but cropped one thinking the two would not work

That's a very pretty Iris, I like the point of view, although I wish the entire front petal was in focus. Very nice, bright colors especially against the dark background. I like that bud,although it looks like there maybe some white debris on it that could have been cloned out to give it a cleaner look but it is hard to tell without a larger image.
