Post Processed Iris

An Iris, post processed by a simple "auto levels" in GIMP photo editor .

The background ans leaves were brightened by the auto levels click and produced quite a nice feel.

That's about all I can say about this shot, apart from Iris's are quite an underrated plant / flower...very pretty and very photogenic.

I love the blue iris & the touches of yellow on the petals are very striking! I sometimes buy these for the kitchen table, the blue looks nice in my earthen ware bowl.
I like your DOF & focus.

[Judith Johnson]
