Daisies in the rain

I like this image.

I had to read the title before I realized what the odd striping was. A very odd and interesting affect. I would never have taken my camera into the rain. I too am distracted by the stem to the right. To my eye, cropping about the lower 1/3 of the image would have created a more balanced image.

I am not sure what to think of the dead flower. I often take photos of dead flowers because they have a lot of interest, but in this case it is not in the focal plane, so it almost distracts...not sure.

My instincts tell me that the back ground distracts rather than adds to the image. The pavement and tie wall, with the grass growing in the edge, detract from the image and provide horizontal lines that break up the dog. having a more uniform and more pleasing background would have improved the score. On my laptop the image appears a little flat as well.

I gave your image a 5. The image struck me as being very busy, the background is a little too bright relative to the butterfly and though it probably has very sharp focus on the eye, the large f stop gave you a shallow depth of field that caused you to loose focus on the wings and the body. And, the wings appear a bit washed out....I would too if I were dead

the lack of sharp focus will hurt your score

use more pixels and your chances are better. The image appears out of focus as well.

very nice image. You lose a little of the impact it probably has because of the width
