UV-lights. Seems you have some potential drama in the sky, would have liked to see more sky, maybe less foreground for better compositional balance.

One of several greenhouses at CU in Fort Collins.

I've got a lot of other photos of this scene. I don't think this one is the ultimate  keeper. ...stay tuned.

Although I do like the way a patch of sky balances out the photo on the right-hand side.

I agree. That sky reminds me of Moonlight Over Hernandez.

This was taken at UC, Fort Collins---big land grant institution. The US government is funding the research going on in the greenhouses. I peeked in and saw what appear to be tests of batches of seeds.

I'd never seen a greenhouse, or a row of them, lit with such powerful magenta lighting. I'm not sure how much of the spectrum is UV.

The color is so intense that the only way to get the file in gamut was to convert the aRGB file to CMYK (SWOP), and then back to sRGB. There are probably a lot of naysayers re this technique. It works, although it does narrow the gamut and therefore, of course, color data is lost.

Yeah. I know all about UC. My wife, Autumn, went there to learn floriculture since her dad owned a flower shop and it was something she loved to do. She was a student there when we got married. Later on she went back to Colorado College in Colorado Springs when we lived in a house we rented from the college. She then got her degree in philosophy. A bit different from floriculture, but maybe not all that different.

I had that very thought too.

Autumn is a pretty name.
