    I nearly stepped on it, lost in the green of the forest floor but the tiny purple buds caught my eye so I clipped it and photographed it at home. The resulting photo is almost surreal - it looks so vivid, almost artificial- and it is a mystery to me how that happened. Pretty sure nothing abnormal happened in my post processing, but it sure looks that way.

      Good idea to photograph at home. I took a shot of it in the woods, but it came out terrible. Posted one year ago
