Clivia

This is the Clivia flower just as it starts blossoming . It is a plant native to South Africa .

 

It was taken with a slower 1/50 shutter speed with natural sunlight from the side only touching the top of the plant .

 

The post-processing consisted of a colour curve remapping where the light side edge of the spectrum was increased and the dark side edge decreased for a greater contrast between the background and the foreground.

The colours were also saturated a bit to emphasise that nice glow and fiery colour.
