I was shooting a Swainsons and a Coopers hawk along a ridge road when these flowers caught my eye with the sky in the BG.
Canon 7D, EF 500mm f/4L IS, ISO 800, f/7.1, 1/2000th second (didn't change from my bird setting, plus it was windy and this is hand held), AV mode with +2/3EV. Processed with DxO Optics Pro, pulling down levels slightly and default settings. I chose a square crop because it's for internet use only and I thought square worked for the tall flower on the right:
