Really beautiful capture, Ian. I love the soft whites and how they contrast with the yellows, and the depth of field and point of focus is just perfect.

A really solid choice of both DOF and point of focus. The composition is effective as well. I really like this!

Neat cram shot. I really like the "texture" in the flower's center

Well done, Ian. The comp is well balanced and the selected POF and DOF are perfect, IMO. I like the little yellow stars in the center of the main flower. :toast:

Wonderful soft image, Ian! I really like the shadings of white contrasted by the yellow center. I also like your DOF choice to focus on the front of the center of the daisy. . .the little "flowers" within the center are amazing in themselves. Great comp overall. The greenish area on the right in the background helps to balance out the picture IMO. Well done!

Dreamy. Detail is just where it needs to be and the soft gradient is perfect.
