Australian FLag

I saw this flag fluttering against the breeze with a wonderful sunset behind it. I was hoping to try and capture some of the flags translucency.
I found the exposure quite difficult as the flag itself was relatively dark against the bright background. No flash available.
For pp'ing, I used ACR and 1st converted exposing for the background and then did the same for the flags exposure. Did some more curves adjustment and some copying and pasting (blending) and ended up with this.
Comments always appreciated.
