Iris



With it being Mothers Day and our house being inundated with flowers, I have posted this still life picture of an Iris in full bloom.

This was taken last week, in natural light - near the Kitchen window to be precise - and against a black board.

By using Picasa 3, I darkened the background a little more and added a border, selecting the colour from the flower itself. A further vignette using black, also tinted the border. The result is a very rich coloured flower, with very fine detail.
