Andrea B. Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 This is gorgeous! Very well done.And so interesting to see the IR markings. It is unusual to find a flower which has IR absorbing areas. I was just in Italy seeing P. rhoeas everywhere and wishing I had been able to take my UV gear along with me. How nice to return home to find this lovely example. Link to comment
Alaun Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Agree with Andrea: Very well done! And a little question: You got a very nice gray background in all three pictures! A new grey standard material? ;-) Link to comment
Steven Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share Posted May 16, 2017 You're right Werner, background seems to keep its grey color in all these pictures. To answer your question this is the wallpaper (at a distance of about 1 meter away from the flower) of a room in my house. Link to comment
