"Daisy" is a prefect fit into the Off Center challenge. Just from the very first glance at this shot it looks like a very nice attractive shot. I think a lot of time people glance through the thumbnails to see which shots they want to vote on and this one is bound to grab their attention.
The image its self is very striking, I think you used the prefect color combination to have a natural look but enough contrast to bring out the subject. I think the glow on the flower makes this piece, but that is my opinion. I also like how it feels softer because of the glow. The composition and lighting are excellent in my opinion as well as the diffusion. I really thought it would place higher. Keep up the excellent work.
The glow and light fits the mood of this one very well. The green background is a bit different but works very well. I like the bits of light and shadow thoughout the pic and the composition.
