Silky

A silky sheen reflects evening sun or perhaps, quicksilver moonlight; it's all in the eye of the beholder.  An  infrared cactus shot converted to black and white and adjusted to have the look of an Agfa film I used to shoot.  I'm officially astounded at what can be accomplished in the digital world, and I don't even really know what I'm doing!  But I'm still glad I got my hands dirty and wet in a "real" darkroom before I discovered this miracle of modern photography.
