A mid-winter visit to the Floral Conservatory is always a boost for the spirit. This was the first flower I photographed, without realizing that the heat and humidity had fogged my lens. A happy accident, I think.

While processing this image I noticed some interesting colours and textures appearing as I zoomed in on the petals. I experimented with some settings I hadn't used before. The result was what I would call a painterly look.
