I shot these daisies a couple of years ago with a Canon AE1. Thus, I have no idea what the settings were. I was at Eagle Bluffs Conservation Area in the Spring. Mild enhancements with mid-tone and contrast.

Any critiques welcome.

Hi Merle,

You have captured woodland sunflower, Helianthus hirsutus. The center composite sure has a sad face. :frown:

Best,
Don

Thanks for looking Don. I liked the shot because it showed one in full bloom with a bee in the center and then the downside of the evolution right next to it. That's about as deep as my philosophical side gets... :biggrin:

I like your progression idea. If only the third bloom was just a bud. :smile: I did not even notice the bee until you mentioned it.

Hi Merle, nice concept and a beauty of a bloom on the left. Vivid color and good detail too. A cleaner bg (minus the yellow blooms) and a tad more room on the right bloom would have strengthened an already good image. Thanks for sharing. :smile:
