They needed editing. They're in RAW, so the camera did minimal processing Mousetoescamper May 2023 #10

It's a wonderful photo and of course I appreciate the sentiments!

The colors are super saturated and so lovely. It's a glorious iris.

Thank you again.

The previous photo was shot in full sunlight. These were shot in the evening shade. Straight out of the camera (Canon Rebel T5i) without any editing. I always shoot in RAW format.

Wow, no editing! It's rare that my photos don't need at least a little.

I'd say you know what you're doing!

Here's the last photo with editing, mostly cropping. I also sharpened the focus and increased the definition. My intention with editing this and the Mother's Day photo was to improve the images without oversaturation or false coloring.
