No such thing as "just" some flowers in my book. I'd just say, Some flowers! thatcrowwoman Aug 2023 #6

Infrared is inherantly soft focus. Infrared doesn't reflect off the surface but off the chlorophyll inside the leaves/blossom. The same with skin which gives portraits an ethereal look.

Fun stuff!

Some flowers! With the accent on either word.
These are lovely, Andy. I find the soft mossy green of the first one quite calming.
The patterns in the second one really pop! Entrancing and intriguing.

That acid green chartreuse one is a real eye catcher.
I have to take it in with quick glances. I can’t gaze at it for any length of time.
Something about chartreuse triggers migraines for me if I look too long. How weird is that?

It’s like a hot poker jabbed above one eye, usually the right one. No lovely auras to show for it, either. I was really relieved when I figured out that chartreuse was not my friend. It’s usually easy to spot and easy enough to look away.

Even with quick glances, I can tell it’s a stunning photo.
Many thanks for sharing these, Andy.
