Iris

Along the back road and near to the main road are a few yellow irises.  Here are a couple.  I have changed the Exposure Value (EV) to darked the background and then used Lightroom to highlight the blooms.  A little bit of 'in-camera' and after editing creativity.  At the very least the 'muddled' background is muted and you can really focus on the flower.  If you're really lucky you will see another caterpillar, a creature I didn't see until I enlarged the flower.  (It is vertical on a petal.)
I've often said people will help you and this was the case when first starting.  I usually us an EV of between -0.3 and 0.  Imagine how I felt when photos either were to light or dark.  Enter a more experience photographer and now I understand. 
Thanks for your comments on yesterday's 'pheasants.'
