  Beautiful color in this iris. How do you get them to bloom...all I get is greenery. I have no idea what color mine are, Marsha!

  Thanks everyone! This is only the first iris bloom so far. It is 80 degrees out right now. Kind of windy, but feels great. Carolyn, you can come anytime! :) Everything is starting to bud out. I have a few redbud blooms, the bluebonnets are really starting to kick in.
The effects on this are different than anything I have tried before. Flaming Pear's Mr. Contrast filter does some unusual things to the images and then you can history brush back in some color and ta-da!

  Jill and Diana, thank you so much. I go from filter to filter choosing which is my favorite. Right now the Mr. Contrast filter from Flaming Pear is my favorite. All my images for the last couple of days were using it in one way or another.

  Thanks so much everyone. I find more and more that although I enjoy taking and composing the pictures my real love lies in the post processing and manipulation of the image. Thanks for allowing me the pleasure of doing that.
