White spirit tree (IR)

Alright, ..not gonna lie, I'm pleased with how this turned out, but it was a close call, I have a rather nice monochrome development of this too.

 

Once again, this was part resp. result of one of those legendary infrared safaris I did back then; I really like places like that, remote (~1600m, nowhere, I can be by myself..) and no clue what's around the next corner. Exploring and being attentive in that way really quietens the mind, what a relieve.

 

Due to being close, the ash tree got disproportional large in the frame, I think that's kinda cool, and with the bright white leaves and the sun flare in it, a bit mystical too.

 

Technically, this is a 8:5 aspect ratio section, 13938 x 8711px, ~121,4MP, as well as a different false-color development of this original 360° panorama:
