Moth Light

Somehow over the past few months, my kitchen window sill has been endowed with 4 Orchid plants. They keep their blooms for quite a while.

From time to time in the late afternoon, I take one of the blooms into the living room where the afternoon sun causes the blossoms to look as tho' they are on fire.

This image was shot with manual exposure, a tripod, and cable release at 2 seconds, f/10, 105mm lens. It was cropped to a 5:4 aspect ratio for composition.

Processing occurred in ACR, PS layers for curves corrections and NIK SEP2 with selective coloring on the main orchid and stem.

C&C welcome.
