Haunted Cabbage
Lens: HD Pentax DA 16-85 Camera: K10D Photo Location: Orange County ISO: 400 Shutter Speed: 1/250s Aperture: F5.6

Walking in a new neighborhood just after dawn and saw some filtered sun rays lighting this surprising plant.
The stalk below looks like the typical cabbage. However everything else tends to suggest this thing would be radioactive to eat!
I have enhanced contrast a bit to bring out the colors a bit more emphatically, but it didn't need much!
I'm not sure if it belongs to the cabbage family or to the succulents family. Or maybe something completely alien to all...!
I know that Southern California can produce some very strange anomalies--maybe this is one of them, right at the haunted season.
Angky.

Wow. Those colors glow like images from a coral reef, but it's not underwater. Well detailed capture of this plant. Looks more psychedelic than haunted.

Thanks, Mike!
I already responded to your comment, but it didn't seem to "take"; so I'll try it again. Hope it doesn't post twice!

Exactly what you said, Mike!
This image has only minimal post processing. When I worked with saturation or color enhancements, I got results that looked like bright neon lighting--as if it was fluorescing! And brilliantly! So I backed off to keep it looking somewhat like it looked when the camera captured it. Strange!
Like you said, it appears brilliant like coral only a few feet below the surface on a bright sunshiny day.
Angky.
