Iris

This is a discussion on Iris within the Show your photo (Color) - Landscape & Nature (flowers, mountains, storms etc.) forums, part of the Photography & Fine art photography category; I know the background is pretty busy in this, but it is still one of my faves........

    Lovely flower. It is a shame the background has so much distraction. Maybe you can shoot it with a much wider aperture and blur that background up more?

    You may be able to get someone to hold something like a black card, a floral cloth perhaps, behind it and make a better shot that way too.

    Except for the background this is absolutely lovely.

    Interesting shot, I actually thought you included the background deliberately because the framing is not bad if you did. Thought maybe you were making a statement about nature/sprawl etc.
