I love daisies! Your capture of these hardy blooms shows each detailed line on each petal clearly and the white of the petals is so vivid it appears illuminated! Each minute dot comprising the whole of the vibrant yellow centers is visible allowing the viewer to see the many individual components that make up the flower's center. I love the hint of lush greenery encircling the daisies to show how alive and fertile they are! Great use of light and dark in this capture as well!

So first I love the use of light here. The white on the petals are great. The clarity and sharpness is amazing. I like the darkened background and the fact that there are leaves left in. Some might say to take them out, but I like what it adds.
1.Initial impact - 5.5
2.Creativity of presentation - 5.5
3.Color Harmony - 5.5
4.Center of Interest - 5.5
5.Technical Excellence - 5.5
6.Technique -5.5
7.Story Telling Ability - 5.5
8.Lighting - 5.5
Well Done. Thanks for Sharing

This image has nice composition, crisp clear focus and subtle lighting. I enjoyed the contrast of the bright white daises with the darker background.

This is indeed a good entry for the contest. In my book this is the only flower we can actually call a Daisy, but it seems like a lot of people call a lot of other flowers Daisies as well. This bunch as standing out really well against the dark background.
Your photo is also nice and sharp showing clear and well defined details both in the petals and the yellow middle, and the exposure is very good.
I also think the cropping works well, and how the bundle of flowers are almost filling the frame. All together a well taken photo with a very good DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.

Lovely shot of these, good photography skills, with fine focus/detail. The lighting seems a little bland, but still nice contrasts overall, with good color harmony.

Nice sharp image 5 impact 5 depth of field, contrast and composition 5. Lighting is rather dull on the flowers with very little light reflections. Good contrasts in the petals and between. Great detail in center flowers. Maybe because I know these are white flowers and they look gray -blue.

Love the clear quality of the flowers. Great contrast and although looks a bit bluish. The overall background being out of the scene is nice and a bold move. The green leafs look good.

Comment from DavidP
Well if they are drought resistant and hardy I might even be able to grow them! ha A very pretty daisy for sure and a nice photo of this group of them. Good entry for this contest and so pretty to view. I like the way you framed this group of flowers with the dark background and a few green leaves at the top. Very nice and should be a good contender in this contest.

Oh these are such lovely daisies and a wonderful entry for the contest. The light here is handled so well with no blow out of the highlights in the crisp white petals. Super detail and a nice composition too.
