Found these daisy-like flowers in a local meadow. Lighting provided by sun shining through the trees nearby.

Canon Rebel T1i. 180mm macro lens. F/11 for 1/100 sec. ISO 200. Tripod mounted, natural lighting.

Carolyn - Lovely composition making the 3 blooms go along the diagonal with the two buds making the opposing diagonal. Your chosen DOF works just so nicely here putting what needs to be in focus, in focus.

I love everything about this! Comp, colors, lighting, and those buds are fantastic. Great details; so glad you didn't make an abstract out of it by hiding the details with f/1 or a lensbaby or something.

As usual...excellent composition! I also like the whimsy of the buds that spread out from each other diagonally.

Love the arrangement of the flowers. It's whimsical and brings a smile. Detail and lighting are great and I like the dappled background for interest. Nicely done.
