Nice blurred BG, but it might have been good to see the whole bunch of flowers

Nice foreground in focus, bokah in back. Iris are nicely in focus, and color is gorgeous. However, your shot seems to do everything it can to annoy the viewer by distracting from the primary subject (the flowers). You have a large dead spot in the bottom left 2/3 of the shot. You keep most of the vase in the shot, including the water line, but crop off the top part of the flowers. Just a suggestion, but crop down to just the upper right 1/4 of the picture, and I think you'd find that a much more pleasant picture. It isn't "wrong" to crop through the flowers, but the balance of the shot makes me want to see more of the flowers in the upper left of the shot.

It would be good if the flowers are fresh and not cropped.

Not so sure I like the tight crop at the top.....I'd rather the focal point be the flowers themselves and not the stems or vase. But a very clear photo, good colours.
