The close up Iris is added, to simulate (or perhaps stimulate) the way our attention works when we encounter this in nature. We see the clump of Iris in all its glory next to the old birch trunk\u2026a riot to color and texture and form, but that does not take our full attention\u2026because we also, in our mind\u2019s eye, see the intricate detail off the Iris flower. Much ado about nothing maybe, but maybe not. Sony a6700. Tamron 50-400 at 75mm with my marco modifications to Aperture mode (f22 for maximum depth of field) and 600mm at f6.3 for the close up. Processed in Photomator and assembled (confected) in Pixomatic. <\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-21331\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/psnp.info\/p4td_\/?p=21331&amp;share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span>Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-21331\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/psnp.info\/p4td_\/?p=21331&amp;share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span>Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/psnp.info\/p4td_\/?p=21331&amp;share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email this to a friend\"><span>Email<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blue Flag Iris (wild Iris): Kennebunk, Maine, USA, June 2025 \u2014 This is, of course, a digital composition\u2026or, as I like to call them, digital confection.
