Have you considered doing a w/b of that IR shot? Cannot say I'm very partial to the wash of bland, reddish colours.

An interesting factoid is the cones of the Larix (?) tree are IR black. That reminds me of the bracts of dandelions and similar species in the Asteraceae.

Nice photo. Nice rendering, too, is it with the Nikon Z 40 f/2, or Voigtländer of any kind?
Thanks Christeo. This is the Nikon Z 40/2  SE

Kniphofia's are nice there are some hybrids in special colours. https://hessenhof.nl/genera/kniphofia-vuurpijl-knip
I generally find them too tender for our climate, unless you find the right spot.
The streetgarden on the south with full sun seems a great place for the Kniphofia's

Very beautiful. I guess I underestimate the little piece of plastic
Thanks Frank.  The 40/2 is very nice and versatile, I also have the SE version and with the metal sunhood HN-3 a bit unplasticed. ;)

The Nikkor 40mm f/2 (SE version, but that's just a window-dressing variant to extract more money from the hard-core old-timers) is in fact a surprisingly nice and versatile optic, despite its plastic design. It is further endeared by being a very capable performer in Infrared too. I'm on my third sample now; first was the "wrong" non-SE version so I traded it in, the second was stolen (together with my black Zfc) thus I purchased another 40 SE + black Zfc to replace these items. I had similar experiences with all these copies. Handling on the Z fc is perfect and on the Zf, nearly so as well.
