Taken by the side of a road, sun behind flower. The background is a bunch of pine trees, but it looks black because the exposure was set to the yellow of the flower minus .7.
70-300 tele-zoom at 300mm.
Flipped horizontally, straightened, cropped, adjusted b/w point (only the black point), adjusted levels for higher contrast, applied clarify filter (setting=1).
Added border, reduced to size, sharpened.

Great example of backlighting... love the simplicity of this entry. Great shot on the flower, I like the black background and in this case the border adds to it as well. Very nice. :-)
Love the vibrant color and I actually like the understated border (not normally a fan of borders and frames) . If it was a tiny bit sharper it would have been perfect.
