I went to an Iris field this morning. Here are a couple of shots I came up with.

What do you think?

Never seen that many irisses in one place, nice.

On the first image the color looks a bit off, the leaves of the irisses are to yellow. The colr looks better on the second shot.

I see what you mean. I'm not sure why they are so yellow looking. Same lens, same everything. I'll play around with it and see what I can do.

Thanks for taking the time to comment. I appreciate it.

Thanks Dimitri. DOF was definitely the effect I was going for.

I think I'm going to head back there this evening when the light is good to try some more.

Really like the composition of the first, should be interesting to try at lower sunlight.

Photography is my only pathological addiction; hopefully it won't drive me to something worse. :rolleyes: :oops:

Thanks zacker. I agree that in a few days these will be even more spectacular. I'll definitely be going back for me in a few days.

Paul A, I went back tonight and tried again. I'm still not 100% happy with it, but I think it's an improvement. What do you think?

I like this one a lot better than the first one. Easier on the eyes, color is better and it's in focus all the way from the front. You also get an even better idea ofhow bigthe field is
