I really didn't get a chance to work my irises as much as I had hoped but did get a few keepers. All comments welcome. >=))>

Bill, I am very partial to flower closeups set against a very dark background :smile: so I really like it. My only suggestion: perhaps sharpen the petal in the center a bit?

Just gorgeous, Bill - the lighting, composition and overall presentation bring out the beauty of this flower perfectly.

The colors and shapes here are gorgeous, Bill. It does look a touch soft...or is that my eyes, which need to be checked.

Bill,

I like the colors and delicate lighting. These iris flowers also show best with your black backgrounds :toast: ....................Jim
