Both the flower and the frame are lying on a black background.
Post processing:
- a small visible part of the metal clips on the frame are cloned out
- area around the frame is made fully back using curves
- Adjustment layers (with masks): curves (to make the background fully black and to bring out the colors in the flower), hue and saturation
- USM

The lighting is a bit too harsh for my taste here. It makes for a bit of overexposer on the bud. Nice lighting set up though. It had to be tough not to blow out the frame.
