Purple Iris

It's been a great year for my purple Irises. Seem to have a bumper crop, so I've enjoyed bringing them indoors. Done with my usual processing. Still waiting for my Viveza and Nik software to arrive.
Canon 50D
Tamron 28-300mm (I think...)

Very nice Kathy. The rich colors and textures are gorgeous, The yellows really pop against the purple.
I've got a purple Iris that I was considering placing against a black bg. It might be awhile before I post it. Mine won't stand up against this.
Great job.

What I like most about this is the comp, It's difficult to come up with something as fresh as this....perfect lighting and details as well
