Description
We had a lovely trip to Saint Andrews in New Brunswick, Canada, which is home to the magnificent Kingsbrae Garden. We went on two different days - one sunny and hot, and the other drizzly and cool. Of course the best images came from the raindrops gracing the flowers and foliage.
There was a group of these lovely little irises, and it was difficult to isolate just one, but this one seemed to have her head cocked a bit, hoping I would take her photo, so i did!
Processed in Photoshop with Topaz Studio, a touch of Topaz Impression, and several textures from Jai Johnson.
