The color of this iris is gorgeous, and the lighting with the black background really makes it pop! Outstanding work, Kathy.

Outstanding in every way that I can think of. I have a blue one that was planted last year, so probably won't see it till next year.

The black background is so complimentary to the beauty of this iris... stunning capture. Really, the details and clarity are outstanding. I don't know how one obtains such clarity, if it is the camera, the pixels, or the photographer, but you have nailed this one magnificently. Favorite.

Never have seen an Iris that blue. No, not figuratively this time but literal meant Kathy. Perfect shot!

This iris is such a gorgeous color and You've managed a great close up of it Kathy. I like the green leaves just behind the flower petals. Nice work.
