I keep switching between a shot of my daughter and this shot of a daisy. I like the shot of my daughter better, but I think the background on this one is more relavent to the challenge, as opposed to just not distracting. I'll probably switch them another twenty times before the challenge ends..
I wish I could either get rid of the one water drop, or else add more. And I don't like the shadows/exposure on the petals. I had a better daisy shot that I took the day before the bokeh challenge was announced, when it was overcast. Sigh. But I really liked the bud on this, and the way it is just waiting in the wings. (plus it has some of those much saught after little white circles)
PP - adjusted exposure a little, cropped, sized and sharpened a tad.

great use of "bokeh" to draw attention back and forth between old and young daisies. I think this is what the challenge is all about - using one to draw attention to the other, not just random blurriness. nice job :)
I originally gave this a 7 but I have come back to give it an 8 because I think it is perfect for this chellenge and I love the sharpness of your subject in contrast to your lovely soft bokeh! Well done!
