Capturing Gloriosa Superba
This is about a month back when me and Balan went to Valley School for Photography. While returning to the main road we spotted a few Gloriosa Superba flowers. The initial reaction was to pass.

Again the back-lit grass was something unique fpr this trip. Converted this to B+W to get the best contrast out of the scene.
