Iris Pseudacorus

This is a very common Iris of my lands: it's botanic name is "Pseudacorus" and it's common to find it near the ditches on May... I love this simple and common flower because it reveals its beauty only to anyone who wants to discover it in the tall grass near the ditches...

Thank you if you would spend a little time to watch this photo and leave me a sincere comment or a critique.

Beautiful shot!

Beautiful iamge, well lit and so pleasant to view, wishing you all of the best.

Ottima composizione ed esposizione, perfetta resa dei toni e dei dettagli. Max ed un saluto!

Bellissimo, compreso il framing. bravo Alberto

Alberto, I like this a lot but I think that it needs to be cropped from the top to remove the centre leaf, and probably from the bottom a little too. I think that this would really focus attention on the flower, and its beauty.

Thank you all!

Thank you Jeff for your suggestion: I admit that I meditated a lot upon cropping this photo... I noticed the upper leaves, but I wanted to keep the original aspect ratio (3:2) of the frame... Maybe an alternative way can be cloning those leaves and getting more dark background...

Alberto.

That would work. I always think of cropping away from the 2:3 ratio but a clone would be just as good.

Thanks to Jeff's suggestions I uploaded a new image, slightly cropped on the top and with some cloning.

Alberto.

Much better, IMHO.
