Harsh light. This could be profitably softened some. Some tech specs and a larger image would be helpful in critiquing.

Floyd - As long as you believe this reflects your vision, that is all that counts. The light is harsh as mentioned but then on a sunny day, not many options are left for these perspectives.

Floyd, I agree with Ram's comment.
For me, this looks a bit too "crispy"; the harsh light isn't so bothersome. Often difficult to get an entire iris flower into the frame, so that's a bonus here.

The light and colors make this for me Floyd. Fantastic portrait.
