Interesting image! Title really pulls it all together. I love the color contrasts, the focus is great, but as a personal preference I'd rather the ring was more defined. I like the composition - leaving the pulled petals in really gives depth and background to the photo. A great idea and well executed. 8
The ring keeps distracting me, actually. Seems like there's too much stuff in the background. I'd rather look at the wonderful detail on the flower and enjoy your color choices.
Very original idea. Very good composition. Very good colors. Like the dof.
negative, it's a personal thing so feel very free to ignore it. I would like to see more of the flower head in focus.
Pretty, though because it's an orange daisy I hadn't recognised it as a daisy (I'm more used to white ones) and only realised the significance when I read the title. Really like the use of shallow DOF and the blue background. Angle of ring feels a little too tilted and I am not sure it should be cropped. Nice photo overall though.
Interesting use of DOF. I wish I could get so tight with my camera.... However I don't think it gives the impact in this shot. I would like to see DOF just a bit deeper. Also crop out a bit if possible!
You know when I first saw this i wans't completely sold on it, however I left it and came back and I must say it's grown on me. The colour is great, as is the macro detail and the DOF. The only thing I'd remove is the top petal, for some reason I think it draws your eye up of the focus.
