Thursday that I noted in another thread, drove 130 miles each way to a special geology ocean rocky shore with wave smoothed colorful stones. A shore, few to no other photographers are likely aware of. Not as productive a day as one last month though I did get 2 strong frames including the one at this post link: Of course, much more impressive at 100% pixels on a UHD 4k screen.

The below is an artful rotated crop from the close-up nature image at page top I made of stones and drying seaweeds under diffuse cloud coastal marine skies. My old 2014 A6000 with 56mm, a 14 shot focus stack blended image 5700 by 3900 pixels full size, here downsized for web amusement.
But for this admittedly imaginary crop below that I discovered viewing the image, I noted it would appeal as a mind metaphor to Earth females who love clothing. On the shore under the diffuse late morning marine overcast light, the purples did glow if I moved my camera to this side lit downward orientation to the sun's position. I also use such at times with close-ups of wildflowers and fall leaves that will glow from translucent sun lit elements with better saturation.
The purples are optimal, with the frilly edges like some entertainer's costume. The fully charged Miss RoseP even has a white quartz shaped head. Versus the full CS6 post processed image, I rotated CCW arbitrarily, increased overall saturation by a modest 7%, brightness by 14%, on the overall dim overcast day subject, and unsharp masked it 77% at 0.3. Notice her waist, her legs, and knees? How well dressed she is in a spectacular magenta rose hue. Can you make out her eyes? See how her right hand is curled up? I love her level broad shoulders with the white power port on her right shoulder? So becoming for robots socially in this era.
But whats that white rounded with gray swathed object to the right of her head? Well that was a pan containing her fried hash brown potatoes that fell out when you spooked her just now. See that mess on the floor beside her left shin? No problemo, your fine, its ok. Miss RoseP's happy English bulldog is going to love it as it has bacon bits topping. But what is that mid frame right at her hips? A little ovoid plastic fast food bottle of chocolate she had with lunch salad including beets and plums. Ok one last mystery entry for Dave's journal today. That black rectangular shape to the right of her head is the receiving antenna for communication with our 2079 year overload masters and the smaller black thing on the right side of her head is a 5 watt antenna transmitter with a 4000ma/hr lithium battery plugged in.
