Really like the DOF/POF used here Bill. Wonderful control.

Nicely seen and captured Bill. The DOF management was perfect for this "scape".

Excellent shot Bill! I really like the POV, and the shadow areas add a nice sense of depth to this.

I think you had better send this one to me for safe keeping as it is outstanding. You never know who might want to take it. Larry

Reminds me of some of Nathan Buck's work, which I say as a compliment. This is a very fine shot and I like the DOF and composition. A might prefer a slightly tighter crop, but it works quite well as-is.

This has all the elements to make a great shot. I really like your dof, pof, and pov. Maybe a touch of darkening on the brightest oof parts in the lrc and at the top. They pull my eye ever so slightly.

I love the way the main flower is just highlighted in detail. Wonderful Bill.

Bill:
Fabulous details on the main bloom and perfect DOF. I second Morris' suggestion of toning down the bright white area in the LRC and upper portion (I find TK luminosity mask very useful in this situation).

Very pretty Bill. I had this color of daisy in my containers this year, but I don't know that I got that many good shots of it. I like the crammed effect and the DOF, Great color throughout.

Absolutely love this, Bill !! Just a wonderful image, capturing the essence of the flower with its complex centre and its medley of soft colours running through the oof petals. Beautifully composed.

I am glad you posted an image of my favorite flower. In our garden this plant still has some flowers. The blue centre overwhelms the caos. Bill, try to darken and sature the blue: it will pop up.
Cheers.
