It's wonderful say's Caro,...the shades background really makes the flower stand out. Mike and Caro love the yellow that attracts the eye. Mike thinks the orange complements the flower center.

Oh, the contrasts! Soft versus hard, bright white and colors vs. very dark and blacks, smooth vs. rough, organic vs. mineral, it all combines to make for a really attractive image. Now, ... "Hope"? Without the title I could probably come up with the word "hope" as one of my first ten guesses, but then, "Hope" is a very hard concept to convert into a stand-alone image. And you've done a really great job.

I like the contrast/colours between the chain and the flower, focus is nice and sharp.

Very good, the contrast of the flower is great. Maybe if you would have cropped a little off the left and the top it could improve, I tried to hold something over those parts and I thought it improved.

The title could be much better, but I don't take off for that. I like the shot.

A wonderful contrast! Good subject matter. One of my favorites of this challenge.

Comment by teknon42:
i'd prefer to see a full tonal range--the petals on the daisy burned into white. A shorter exposure with more light on the chains would fix this. I'd also experiment with making this image a sepia tone or BW
