Exquisite image, Birdie! Pose, comp, and background make this something special. I would try backing off the sat and exposure just a bit in the red channel (or selectively on the sunflower petals) just to see if you can recover a bit of texture there, without losing the brilliance.

Greg, thank you so much. I will see what I can do with the flower, good suggestion and I appreciate it.

B E A U T I F U L Birdie... techs are perfect and another wonderful composition.
Excellent work.
This is a very nice capture. If you want a bit more detail in the flower try the equivalent of this in lightroom. I'm a Photoshop person so you will need to translate.
Open curves, select the red channel, then grab the dot at the upper right corner and pull it down just a touch watching the orange petals. As soon as detail appears stop pulling down.
I'm guessing you can do the same with a control point in Lightroom.
Have fun,
Morris
