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.

New RGB document created using Infrared image for red channel, Visible light image for green channel, and Ultraviolet image for blue channel
New image copied back to original
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
