A7RM2 + Nikkor 85mm f1.8

In between outside chores, I took a moment to shot the iris in front of our house. This one turned out pretty good.

I know flower shots are a dime a dozen, but I tried my best to put something decent on flickr. I liked leaving the right side open to the background to create some visual interest. I toned down the background a bit to try to make the flower stand out more.
