Osaka Minoo Waterfall in full spectrum

Taken in 2019 summer in Minoo park in Osaka, Japan, a forested valley on the outskirts of Osaka, just north of the urban sprawl. A natural park of arresting scenic beauty with high mountains in the northern part of Minoo City. The park along the gorge runs through forests from the magnificent Minoo Waterfall, about 33 m high and 5 m wide, forming a habitat for 980 species of plants and over 3,000 species of insects. This photo was shot with a full spectrum camera with a 50mm old Russian Prime lens. I used a full spectrum camera to capture the scene, the color of the greenery reflects (UV/Infrared) lights that aren't readily perceived by our eyes, which result in painted the leaves pastel as shown in the photo.
