Hostas & Ferns

[PRSearls]

A shady garden with some sunlight filtering through the trees to highlight some of the ferns and hostas. IR color converted to B&W in Silver Efex Pro 2 and slightly toned. This is a two-shot, hand held pano. I like the textures and tones of the different plants. It was very pretty in person. Comments and suggestions welcome.

Excellent;yet i am desirous of seeing it in colors

The foreground material appears so nicely delicate that I would consider cloning to remove the dark rock formation that pulls my eye away from that area of the scene.

Thank you for the kind comments. This was a Japanese garden and uses lots of large rocks as part of their design. The light was soft coming through the trees and I purposely tried to convey that feeling in my processing. At the time, I was shooting with my IR modified camera so I don't have a normal color image. It was very pretty and green. This was taken around noon on a sunny day so the light was less than ideal for normal photography but excellent for infrared.

I think you succeeded, Paul. Nice shot.
