Something very gentle and pure about this. Absolutely love the feel of this picture. I wouldn't give the use of that empty space on the left a 100%... gives the composition away a bit. But the superb isolation of the flower petals compensates for that.

Good job anyway. I know it gets a bit complicated composing a shot like this... but better luck with that the next time.

Gorgeous, jsut simply gorgeous. It's very symbolic, as well, with it being a daisy, which is a very "innocent" sort of flower, don't you think?
Wonderful work.

This has a great look too it. It's just too bad about the slight blur on the petals and stamen. It's still a wonderful piece though, so I'm glad you posted it ^^ . It really brightened my day! Thank you!

How lovely! So beautiful, Steve. I love how it is a single flower, fragile and beautiful! Also love how you show the past, present and future in this shot, fits perfectly with your title and text, as always.

It is perfect object to take photos of! It's amazing when they are in their blossoming peak and it's all green with tiny fragile white spots everywhere! Btw, it is the first time I see anybody taking a photo of this weed when it's blossoming.

This is stunningly beautiful. I love the elegant simplicity of the subject and the dreamy effect from the shallow DOF. Your composition is just perfect -- I love artwork that gives the viewer some 'thinking room' within the composition. Excellent work, Steve.
