Go Ahead

Make My Day,
I uttered, as a dangerous spiny Echinopsis spachiana threatened my household. I aimed my high caliber Carl Zeiss Distagon 1:4 f=40mm cannon toward the perpetrator and pushed the shutter button . . .

This photo was taken by a Hasselblad 500C medium format film camera with a Carl Zeiss Distagon 1:4 f=40mm lens and B+W 022 Yellow 495 MRC 105mm filter using Kodak 400TX film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.
