 Three backlit iris. I cloned out an extra leaf in the far background and a small distracting spider web, cropped and sharpened this image. The irises were illuminated by the sun from behind giving a transparency to the leaves, stems and petals.

The backlighting is just super! I like how it makes the colors of the flowers rich and dark!!

Nice flower shot, but, here, it is tough to make flower shots stand out from the crowd.

Dark reds and greens on the blue-black back is beautiful. Good design - center placement is fine. The woven focus is acceptable. Curious illumination - dramatic but realistic play of light on these iris seems to reach the limits of bright and dark. Hot spots with lack of detail don't bother me like they usually do, seems to work in this view. Intermediate and dark shadows complement the bright areas.

I think side lighting would work better. Subject is a bit too dark.
