I took this picture with morning light.  I liked the background and oversaturated it and with some additional effects to make it more of an integral part of the picture.

The dramatic lighting looks good here, Ry.  Even with the strong colors in the oof background, the df stands out well.  I could see toning down the background saturation a bit, but that's a personal/artistic choice.  You might also dodge that bright bit in the lower right corner.
