 This image looks amost exactly how it came out of the camera. Almost no mipulation of the rose (red part), clouds, or sky at all. I shot this with the Sun directly behind the rose. Sun is partially obstructed by clounds.

The rest: Cropped, very light Curves, stronger Curves on just the folage to darken it a little. Light burning of the folage and bulbs. Cloned out a few distracting things. Resized and light USM. What's great is that since there's so much white, the "Save For Web" allowed me save this at almost full quality (98%). :)

I like the rose but the background, or lack thereof, is a detraction

Cool shot, and I'm sure you've been told this already, but I think this could be more of a silhouette. Nice shadow, but seems a little unrealistic.

I can see that this is back lit but it doesn't really look like a sihouette.

This is a very nice picture of a rose, well composed. However, it doesn't really seem to be very much of a silhouette.

Nice high-key rendition but it's a stretch to call anything but the buds silhouettes.

The subject has a bit too much color to be a real silhouette (IMO). The brightness to the right of the rose makes the cloud look fake.
