Watercolour Iris


Photographer: Emilia Calder
Club: Eastwood Photographic Society

Canadian Points: 12
Scottish Points: 15


Canadian Comments:

Interesting abstraction. Colours & line have a strong impact. Probably more than the image on its own.


Scottish Comments:
The colour combination here works well with the purple and green. I like the feel created in the green background by the effect used. The iris itself for me is a little overwhelmed by the effect — we lose a bit of the 3D of the flower. Perhaps doing the effect on a layer and brushing back on a mask slightly the area of the flower to retain a little more of the original detail would have strengthened the image
