Comment from Susan F. M. T.
Mary,
A beautiful picture of the White Michaelmas Daisy with it's wind tossed petals & it's golden centre telling you summer will return when Europe is plunged into a frigid Winter & Ireland a wet one. The dark background making it jump out from the background in three dimensions. Artistic composition, framing & lighting with superb camera techniques with sharp focus.

What a pretty winter flower, not what you would expect to see. Like the dark background, focused and framed to show the wind blown details. Good one.

An eye catching shot. Much nicer than if the flower were pristine. The composition is excellent and fits perfectly into this square format. The colors are great and the detail meticulously shown.

Very nice presentation with great color and perfect lighting. Love the angled entry into the frame and that the daisy seems to be just floating. Solid focus and detail over the entire bloom. This one has the kind of drama I like very much. Great play on light and shadow. Thanks for sharing.
