What a perspective on an iris! The crisp edge like a wave cresting. The smeary yellow like a winter sun. The high contrast colors. Just eye opening in so many ways! A real poem.

Out of focus foreground and the yellow oval glow in background with the blue Iris color blend makes this almost like a painting.
