This image, shot on the same day and
at the same time. The sun was rising
almost directly behind the milk weed
pod. The sun was powerful enough to

turn the pod yellow.
This image was processed using a
different preset. This preset uses a Fuji
Velvia film emulation. I preferred the
detail in the pod and the more subtle
coloration was more emotionally pow-
erful. I found that in this instance, the
Kodachrome's higher contrast dark-

ened the image far too much.
