It almost looks like a IR shot. Very pretty - I think I might be allergic as my nose got stuffy looking at them. :rofl:

Thanks guys. The photo was taken early in the morning. The sun was still low in the horizon and from the angle I shot, very little light penetrated. Thus I opted to use the Zeiss 110 2.0, shot at 2.0. The bokeh is dreamy.
