 Back half of a sunflower. The background is decorative black ink paper from Thailand. I use the back. Studio lighting. Sunflowers are nice and all but I have found the backs to be much interesting than the fronts.

Post: Layer adjustments for levels, brightness/contrast and hue/satuation. NeatImage and Sharpen. The result of the NI and Sharp left jaggies all over the place so I used a small dose of Buzz Simplifier number one and then sharpened again. Crop. Layer of curves adjustment. Resize. Sharpen.

very nice. Blue and yellow are my favourite pair of complementary colours and you've captured them well.

I really like this picture the color of the flower is so bold and bright and the blue is a very nice back round touch

Bright and colorful. I like the use of the side view, rather than cutting the subject off at the edge of the frame.
