Image Description
This is a composite. I had something like this result in mind but it still surprised me.
Technical Details
Because it’s a composite, the details are complicated. The photo of the saguaro cactus was taken with my infrared camera. The special effects come from a reflection in a pond, photographed with a regular camera.
Specific Feedback
I don’t have any specific issues with this one. I’m just not sure whether my own reaction to it is peculiar to me.
