Playing around with filters and apps, I quite liked how the tones in this came out. One of my few b&ws that were taken in colour and converted!
Silvergrass blooms in the autumn in Taiwan, then begins to lose its petals. Like most of my images (including all those on Flickr), this one is in the public domain and free for anyone to re-use without giving me credit.
Capture from this summer. Half an hour to late for the full tide and the sun disappearing in the horizon, but still decent light. Handheld!

I came across this photo in the archives while working on a project and wanted to post it. I really like the lighting in this scene even though it was midday. These old trees are so majestic to me and I am looking forward to returning here sometime in the future during some more ideal conditions.

Macro image of red and green color succulent smoothed and softened in post production for a delicate, glowing effect. I shot this with my trusty and time-tested Tokina macro lens. Natural back-lighting and the thinness of the succulent leaves made a nice glow. I cropped the original image down to achieve a hilly or mountainous macro fantasy landscape.
This image was one of my favorites because of it's lighting and contrasting colors, and also because it has good depth of field keeping all the elements in focus.

Chelidonium majus (Papaveraceae) 102 20
Chelidonium majus (commonly known as greater celandine, nipplewort, swallowwort, or tetterwort, which also refers to Sanguinaria canadensis) is a herbaceous perennial plant, one of two species in the genus Chelidonium.
It is native to Europe and western Asia and introduced widely in North America.
Chelidonium majus reaches 30 to 120 cm high. When injured, the plant exudes a yellow to orange latex.
The flowers consist of four (rarely five) yellow petals with two sepals. The flowers appear from late spring to summer in umbelliform cymes of about 4 flowers.
It is considered an aggressive invasive plant in natural areas
The whole plant is toxic in moderate doses as it contains a range of isoquinoline alkaloids but there are numerous therapeutic uses when used at the correct dosage.
