You did great! The moment I saw your photo I fell in love with it. Who hasn't pulled to petals of a daisy to see if he/she loves me or not. I still do! :) Beautiful clean shot and deserved to place.
Thanks to everyone who took the time to comment. I appreciate it in a BIG way as they really do help me. Regarding the pulled petals that the majority of you wanted to see....I actually had shot with petals lying beside the flower, but in the end I still liked this one better, though I do see what you mean about better meeting the challenge. :-)
I still think this was superb and deserved 1st place circles around the one that got it. You keep getting better with each one. The next has to number 1. You are only going up and that's all that's left. Congratulations. PTL
Never really thought about this being a superstition before, but I guess it is. Nice shot - would have loved to have seen the torn petals laying beside it. lhall
The picture is good, nice colors and focus, i think if there were a few petals picked off the flower and scattered around the ground it would fit the title better.
No IF's AND's or BUT's - THIS IS NUMBER 1. Georgeous flower, georgeous photo, georgeous colors, georgeous shadow, georgeous cropping, georgeous 10, I can't say enough. Eye APPPEALING. Love you or love you not I love your picture. PTL
Wonderful image! The colorful background makes the flower really stand out. To go with the theme of the challenge, I'd have pulled out at least a few of the petals so that the image would support the title, and would have scored higher with me. 6... coulda been a 9 Crisp focus also enhances this fine picture. Good luck! Grayce aka Gracious :-)
I don't think this really works without seeing someone actually pulling off a petal. The title is the only thing that tells you how this relates to the challenge or why this flower is interesting. Good exposure though.
It's a beautiful shot (but it needs the title...) IMO, if you moved the flower to the left about half way across the frame, pulled two or three petals off the flower and arranged them artfully in the space now open on the right, I think this would have been more effective. 9 Swash
Excellent photo. I might have taken off a few petals and put them around to illustrate a bit more. Good concept though and I really like the photo, even if it is a flower - Inspzil
Nicely executed shot - a good picture in its own right, regardless of the challenge. Sharp, nicely exposed and the blue background sets it off. My only criticism is that without the title, you wouldn't know the relevance to the challenge. Perhaps a few discarded petals in the foreground would have helped?
Nice shot. The background works quite well with this shot. I feel a bit influenced by the title... I think the shot would feel more complete if there some petals pulled, strewn aside... etc. - JB
I think it would have fitted the challenge better with one or two lose petals lying on one side, and maybe a hand pulling at one of them. Otherwise it's a nice shot.
Beautiful photo, lighting, background and clarity. Would have been cool to have removed some of the petals, but I think that the thought is there anyway, good job!
A really nice shot. I love the colors and the focus is super. It probably would have hit the challenge a bit better if you pulled a few of the petals though. Good Job, you are ready for the Macro Challenge!! DPz
Very nice Macro! For the quality of the picture, I score you high because it is so well shot. I think for the challenge, however, I think it would have had more impact if some of the petals were already picked off. Just my own thought. In any event, I really like the blue background. It makes the white flower really stand out. Nicely done.
