Very dramatic image. The flower really stands out from the background and the detail is very good. I like this a lot. I also like the comp. The position of the flower really helps make the image.

Craig,

This is strikingly beautiful. It's certainly one of my favorites. Great pov as well as technicals. The larger version is stunning.

Very fine image, Craig. The perspective captures perfectly for me the typical splay of iris petals - and the black bg sets off the yellows and whites beautifully.

Craig: Not sure I've seen many of this variety so this is a subject treat for sure. The lighting and detail in the front petal especially is eye popping terrific. Exceptional image. >=))>
