POTD - Water Iris

The water iris blooms are spectacular this year. These were purchased 6 years ago, and I can't find them locally anymore.

Tried to get some sunflare going this evening on the backlit flowers.
I used a small aperture and zoomed in to try to blur the background.

f18, 170mm


f22, 135mm. Smaller aperture and I didn't zoom in as much here, so the background isn't blurred. Darn. But a little sun star on the bottom.
