This is another photo I took at the Toronto Botanical Garden in June of 2009. The irises were in full bloom and I took many shots, but this one was my favorite. I wish I had photographed the tag so I would know what kind of iris it is.

I used a filter from Nik Color Efex Pro, as well as several French Kiss Textures
and one texture from Flypaper Textures.

    The iris colors work really well against the strong green background, and I like the vignette effect.

  • Thank you so much, Celeste. I really love irises and the colors of this one really caught my eye. I would love to get back to the Toronto Botanical Garden when the irises are in bloom – I could spend all day just shooting irises!
