Surreal Iris 2021

To get a more painter like quality out of these photos of Bearded Iris I have pushed the photos in the computer beyond my standard sharp reality of telephoto lenses and high megapixel cameras.  

We have not used others’ presets but have work mainly in Lightroom on sharpening, noise reduction, texture, clarity, dehaze, vibrance, saturation, exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites, blacks, color mix, and vignetting individually with my partner, Sharon Berry, to vary the outcome of each photo to fit the qualities of the individual flower.
