Very clean and simple. Great choice for b/w

Great capture. The only thing I don't like is the one branch crossing the main branch.

Heh! I'll let Judy know you're not me. Must be the username starting with "m" and ending with "a" that threw her. I do like the very dark, strong contrast of this. My monitor shows the back flower as a touch noisy - maybe use a blur brush to tone just that part down a bit? Composition works very well.

I really like the square crop here. Good tonal range and great detail in the subject adds up to a terrific image.

Excellent tonal range! Such nice contrast and interesting lines that run through this image.

This is really fantastic, my only complaint is the flower in the lower left is a distraction from the others. But overall you did a fantastic job here.

The black and white contrast makes this very pretty. Too bad the one hanging down to the left is out of focus.

He, he, wild in more than one sense. Interesting shot, I can't make up my mind if I really like it, or really don't like it. Weird how that goes sometimes. I like the "whimsical" (as somene said below) quality of the photo, the square crop, the DOF. I don't particularily care for the stem that goes to the back (bottom left part), IMO, it makes it too busy all of a sudden. What do I know.

Nice bokeh shot. I really think this is a good black & white shot. The delicate white petals stand out so well against the very dark background.

I really like the dark background here, it really hightlights the daisys. The composition is nice. Only negative comment would be that I'd like to see all of the daisy's as sharp as the one 2nd from right. Great photo though.

Love the B&W in these photo. The white tones of the daisies really pop visually off of the black backdrop of the background. The details and the tones on the daisies really draws the eyes in to stay, linger, and smell the flowers. Square crop was a nice choice too for it keeps the eyes centered on the main subjects which are the flowers.

love the black and white!!! .. no really ... i love the dark, just about black background .. i especially love that stalk leaning off to the left out of focus and quite indistinct ..
altho looking again i'm finding it a distraction !!! i must be losing my mind .. but if just one person can have totally different opinion about the same photograph, then imagine the amount of opinions from many ppl ..
anyway .. i really like the contrast between your white daisies and the black background and i like your composition as well .. it's really a beautiful image ..

I really like this composition as it is bold, dramatic and yet quite soft in places re the DOF.....

Just in case Judy checks back .. I'm not Deb ;)

lovely lighting on these daisies. very delicate as a low key image.

Very pretty, I really like the conversion, IMO the shot would have a better composition without the bottom flower or the stem that cuts across the bottom 1/3 of the picture. That said, one of the best shots today.

Glad to see you are part of the bunch (no pun intended). Nice start, Deb~~ You know how I love flowers. Great contrast.

WOW, they just jump right out of the screen, almost looks like I reach up and pick one!! AWESOME shot!

very nice - pleasing to look at - whimsical

Nice macro. Tones work well, although perhaps the stem risks getting a little lost in the background?

Ohmygoodness Kat! I think this is not only one of your best photos -- but it is one of the best daisy photos I've seen! It is so incredibly sharp -- it's darn near 3-dimensional! The contrasts are phenomenal!

Way to GO!!!!

Very nice contrast between darks and lights. You did a really good job on separating the stem from the very dark background.

Such a gentle floaty feeling this has. Nicely done.

This is a super shot! Very simple, yet interesting. You've nailed the tonal range on this one. Wish the DOF were just a bit longer as I'd like to have the second to the left flower all in focus. Great photo!!

I really like this great shot.
I love how dark the tones are in this.
Punctuated by the sharp, bright petals of the daisies.
Composition is flawless aswell.

Very pretty and I like the way the individual daisies flow throughout the photo

nice macro with various points of focus across the shot making it interesting to the eye. good tones in the B&W maybe a tad blown top end but not much at all.

Who would think that a daisy could look so interesting? Very nice. I like the composition and feel to it. (I feel like I should whisper in its presence.)
