This was clearly a case of pre-visualization. Guilty as charged. K10D, 50mm, circular-polarizer, 100iso, 1/200. Gimp: 1 color layer and two contrast layers, not counting borders.
This is an attempt at a macro-panorama. I found an unexpected bit of color in the enhancement which gives it a bit of a wild edge. I might post a b+w version, let me know if you’d like to see it.
