 Shot lying on the ground, under a daffodil plant. I had been photographing flowers for my own collection, and saw the opportunity to try a different angle thanks to the challenge.

Looks like a daylily rather than a daffodil :-). Still, a nice shot.

I think that you should have adjusted the f/stop to allow the image to become more focused
