Just for fun, I took a close up of an iris stigma.

Interesting perspective. Certainly you chose a good point of focus with enough background to provide a sense of place. Looks like a lily to me?

I really like the plane of focus on the center element showing all of the texture there. The other lines in the BG are nice too. I wish that the other stamen (whatever other center elements) were not touching the edge of the frame - sort of leads my eye out of the frame.

Definitely a lily. I think centering the stigma was a questionable choice. It leaves the stamen in awkward positions.
