Imported into Photoshop with ProPhoto as my Working Space from Apple iPhone Profile to 16-Bit to SRGB and then converted to 8-Bit before saving to jpeg. I doubt this will print accurately because this is considerably outside the color print gamut.
Featuring veins and areoles (the small green patches).
Image is in ProPhoto RGB color space (saturation doesn't fit inside sRGB gamit).
Backlit by the sun.
I usually have nightmares... (It's an assignment at school.)
The colors are in Prophoto RGB again, so it's a little icky. It's supposed to be yellowish grey, so it's not as far away from the original as the other photos I've been uploading lately.
