Brown eyed susan, lit from behind by the sun. I plucked some of the petals because I wanted to show off the "hairy" leaves this flower has.
Cropped out my finger on the left, adjusted the brightness and contrast, resized, sharpened and added the border.
There were a lot of contenders for this challenge and it was really hard to choose just one.

Nice seeing. The combination of colors and textures on the leaves are great. Not mucg detail in the center of the flower - maybe a bit of light could have been bounced in?
Not enough detail visible in the flower's centre. Really good photo, otherwise.
(later) yes, a reflector on the flower centre would have brought out the detail you needed
