Photograph of an iris picked from my grandmother's garden using a top view. I wasn't sure if it would come out in an interesting manner or not, but I like it very much. Never photographed irises nor anything at grandmom's house so I figured that fit.

The colors are so lovely. To my eyes, it would be even more beautiful if more were in focus. It makes one feel cool and refreshed to look at your picture.
This is very very lovely. The colours are immediately striking, and the out-of-focus beautiful blue vase cvompliments the image perfectly. border is good! a stunningly gorgeous picture - 9.
Wow, I love this! I like the perspective and the way the focus shifts from the purple petals down to the 'softness' of the blue vase. Nice clean contrast against the white background. This makes me want to reach out and touch the petals.
Is that a blue vase the flower is in? I like the color combination. I would rather have seen just the flower though. Small hotspot on the left middle edge.
