Purpose of photo: try to do something different
Lighting: cloudy day
Set up: Laying on my back in a weed patch shooting up

Thank you all for your votes and comments. Being NEW to not only DP Challange, my Nikon D90, and Photo shop, I appreciate every one! I'm an ol' Correl graphic designer for Bilboards, and OMG is there about a million things diff to learn again... ( hope you can teach an old dog new tricks!)
Simple, clear & direct, just what a daisy would approve of. The color of the sky is a delicate complement to the light/shadow on the daisy petals. Well done. Please accept my humble admiration & this Gilded Lily--
I like this but it lacks contrast with the sky. It does look like you used a light source under the daisy and that is good. Someone taught me a photoshop trick when I was editing my current free study entry...
...it was to create a layer and used "soft light" as the layer property. It really adds and makes the subject pop out from the background.
I'll go ahead and give this a 6. I base my score on the lighting used under the daisy and the fact that I can make out each petal against the sky background.
