Bird of paradise and bubbles

On a walk in the neighborhood we passed by some bird of paradise flowers.

 

I took this backlight shot with a Wollensak 3" 1:0.9X Oscillo Raptar 75mm f/1.9 lens. This is a large format vintage lens from the 1950th, used in a contraption to take photos of oscilloscopes. It produces a distinct swirly bokeh.

 

See photos of the 3D-printed adapter on the Quality HDR Photography Facebook page at bit.ly/3ptIC73.

 

I processed a soft and a photographic HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
