Plants on fire

We got an interesting flower pot at the farmer's market in Saratoga, California. It looks like the flower pot is on fire with the lotus berthelotii, also called parrot's beak, and lotus vine flower.

 

I took this backlight shot with a Wollensak 3" 1:0.9X Oscillo Raptar 75mm f/1.9 lens. This is a 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 balanced, a paintery, and a photographic HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
