Every year I try to photograph Irises without much success. This time I took a flower indoors and shot against a photo background which, eventually, came out a bit better.

I always find that they are difficult to get the colour correct as it keeps changing according to the ambient light and will vary between a pale blue and rather deep mauve. This is particularly problematic with the I. unguicularis species

This time I even placed a flower beside my computer as I did the final editing and tried to match it. But outside, the colour is totally different. All I could really do was to get the background looking good then tweak the purples a little.
