Fire Within

Daily Shoot - Focus on a fragment of an object today. Make a photograph that only shows part of an object, not the whole thing.

 

This gazania blossom isn't open yet, but you can peek through the curled petals to get a glimpse of the bright yellow centre. I love how the openings look like flames! Looking through my macro lens it occurred to me that I could try to capture the 'spirit' of the flower - it's 'fire within'. In post-processing my RAW file in Lightroom, I bumped up the lights, highlights and yellow luminance levels a bit to draw attention to the yellow glow. For another view of the same flower, see my 365 pic for today.
