Colored Twinklies

Gallery: FloraPosted January 19, 201367 views10 comments
After a good frost when the sun starts warming up the grasses, these plants all take on a Christmas lights effect. On looking at this posted, I'm thinking it has a bit of a blue cast. Opinions?

Hi Christine,
This probably belongs in the Flora category? :confused:

Thanks Howard! I thought it might pass for close-up. Duh me!

I love the way the light is shimmering through the grasses & making all the colors! Definitely goes in the flora gallery...I am sure someone will move it for you!

I like this a lot, Christine. It does remind me of one of the 1960's silver aluminum Christmas trees. The multicolor light reflections are very cool.

I have moved this to flora.

Christine: Excellent lighting. I'm not sure why, but the OOF curved stem going through your name in the ULC bugs me a bit but that's a less than 1¢ nit. Nicely done. >=))>

I'm enjoying all the sparkles and your dof choice. I don't see a blue cast.

A most delightful image, Christine ! If there is a blue cast it is absolutely right for me - one of the most appealing things about the image is the very beautiful tonality, accompanied by the dance of tiny lights across the frame.
