daisy covered in water. the light is cloudy near sunset. that's why I needed 400ISO
levels and curves, resize and usm. that's it. no crop.

while I do like this picture, I wonder if it's really the best one I had of these flowers, or if I chose it because of a Prominent Subject with No Distractions... in other words for DPC qualities. This strategy clearly didn't work, and I was faced with comments of "boring" that have some validity, I suppose. I'll have to show you some outtakes with more complexity to the composition, or save one for the free study.

lol well I saw the purple right away. Is it because I am older now and my eyes are failing me? I love that strip of purple. You can feel it about to ooze off of the center. Wonderful macro.
Very good idea. It does look purple on the center of the flower. Love the bottom dew drop! so exact... A little dull tho. Almost seems like the flower is dying, but I may just not know this flower.
Overall I like your image. For me, there's something missing to give it that extra....wow. Maybe its the lighting or a larger area in focus...something. Sorry I can't be more technically accurate, that's not my style. Good title though.
