Hey guys, I've been recently going through some photos on flickr, and found this amazing one. Could you please enlighten me on the pp, and lighting to pull something off like this?

looksl ike it could be natural sunlight (backlit from subject) with maybe a reflector?

PP looks like desaturation, and a punch of the warm settings...not sure what else though.

natural backlighting. I don't think there's a punch in much. I bet a little contrast and shadows are pushed.

In order to do this have the sun going down (golden) and then when you are taking the shot put the sun directly behind the persons head (their had blocking the sun between them and the camera) and have the camera meter for the skin tone on Av and chosen aperture (shadow cast on it from sun behind) and then lock that reading into M.

Then slightly move your framing to where light leaks from the sun over the head of the subject and viola.

Like so:
