On Saturdays I like to go for a meditation session at Hakone Gardens, a Japanese garden in Saratoga, California. This time I walked up to the bamboo garden and found these bamboo leaves, which I captured with a 50mm f/0.95 vintage Canon lens called the Dream Lens. The DoF at minimum distance is only about 2cm (a little bit less than an inch.)

 

I processed a balanced and a vibrant HDR photo from a RAW exposure, merged them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate your critical feedback.
