Gloriosa daisy in my friend Carolyn's garden. Wasn't easy to get this shot, but luckily these are tall flowers...
PP included creating 2 HDRs from single RAW image, then combining those (1 for sky and 1 for flower). Crop. Multiple layers of dodge/burn, selective color, replace color, contrast, color sat, levels/curves. Used clone brush to clean up the edges. Resized, sharpened, saved for Web.

Your colors are quite uneven...there is a split in the petals on the left that the sky peeking through is a completely different color than the rest of your sky.
