Fireweed portrait

To get a special portrait, no matter whose, a person or a plant, you need to either create or capture the conditions under which the beauty of the object will be especially obvious. In this photo, the sunset light and dark blue-green background (river and blurred green grass) highlight the brightness and beauty of the fireweed.
