The original background was dropped out using a combination of magic wand and lasso tools. Then the dragon was cut and pasted into a new file with the yellow background. Contrast and saturation were increased slightly and the image resized.

Like the subject but I feel the background clashes and washes out the beautiful colours of the dragon. Not sure if the bacground was difficult to cut it out from but it looks a bit hard.
This is pretty cool - wish the head were more sharply in focus. The flat yellow color in the background takes away from the power of the shot a little, too. (That it's flat yellow, not that it's yellow - I like the contrasting colors.)
