Playing w/ backlighting

It just dawned on me that this is the same rose that I used in my background pic...I had picked it from our rose bush because it was so perfect...now that it's dried I'm drawn to it's colours still.  So, being a nice hot sunny day today, I figured what better than to play with some mid day sun back lighting.
