Unfolding, Pale Pink Iris on Green

A pale pink iris with ruffled petals and small orange-red marks at the center is photographed close up. The background is a soft, out-of-focus dark green with faint hints of pink and lavender. A fine textured finish across the surface makes the image look slightly painted.

A single pale pink iris, close enough to see the ruffled, almost see-through petals and the small orange-red marks at the throat, glowing against a deep blurred green. It is a soft, romantic flower picture, and the fine painterly texture across the petals gives it a tactile surface that a plain flower photograph lacks. Someone wants this one because the pink and green stop them, and the single centered bloom gives a wall one clear focal point rather than a busy garden scene.
