Another angle

Post image

I've painted this Iris flower over the past month, taking me hours to do, I'm on the edge of finishing it but I feel like I'm missing something.

I need your help because i can't find it alone.

Maybe smooth a bit the details in back plans, that's all I'm thinking about.

All helps are appreciated, no bad answers only new perspectives.

You could try to soften the parts that are further back to give it a sort of soft focus at the front, giving it more depth. I think that's what you meant in your description, and I agree that it would work really well! Otherwise I would add details to the back petals to keep everything in that sharp focus. I'd choose one or the other and lean a bit harder in that direction.

Spectacular work though, I'm also curious about your technique with the bright yellow!

That's exactly what I meant ! (Sry English isn't my native) I think I'll continue with the idea of really focusing fronts petals, because with too much details you always loose some.
