Title:
Dandelions in the grass by East Farndon Road [Multispectral]
Caption / Description:

Multispectral photograph of dandelion flowers growing in an area of grass by Farndon Road, near Lubenham, Leicestershire, UK. The photograph is comprised of three separate images - one taken with infrared light only, one with visible light only, and one with ultraviolet light only. The photographs were then combined to create a single image.

The red colour of the grass in this image comes from its high reflectivity of infrared light.

Clouds moved between exposures so sky looked a bit strange. Corrected this by using the sky from the IR image with a curves adjustment and cyan colour overlay in hue blend mode
Two curves adjustments - one for tonal contrast, and one for colour
