I like the dark background and basic composition of this, Kalena. It's funny, with all the Daisy's I've seen and photographed, this is the first time I noted the spiral in the center. #1568610Kalena Randall April 01, 2014 0

You know, Dale, I didn't even notice the spiral in the yellow area. That's pretty cool!Jeff E Jensen April 01, 2014 0
Funny, when I saw this, I first thought it was one of Mike's. This is really nice, Kalena. The lighting is good, and the composition works well. Also fits Dale's challenge for the month. #11014487Kalena Randall April 01, 2014 0
Thanks, Jeff. I wasn't even trying for the challenge since a daisy doesn't really have a scent! Lol. But if it works, it's okay with me!I liked the comp on this, too. It filled the frame nicely. It was one of the few plants not damaged by the Texas freeze about a month ago.

I appear not to have responded but could have sworn I wrote some long-winded essay yesterday commenting on the appropriateness of your choice of this beautifully rendered daisy to show us this month.Elaine Hessler April 03, 2014 0
I just had to wait. And there it is:)I love the composition of this Kalena. It is beautiful. I don't know if this would ruin the effect, but can you bring out a little detail or structure in the petals? #11016774
Kalena Randall April 04, 2014 0
Elaine, I could try to bring out the petals more, but I think it would mess up the gentleness of the flower, but I will try and see how it comes out.The main subject of the daisy is the center which shows a spiral that Dale pointed out. My focus to bring out the details in the center of the flower.

Note that his has different lighting than mine does which will render a different amount if detail. His looks to have a side lighting to it. The lighting for mine wasn't as good.
I'm glad you liked the shot. :-) #11017001
