Pink Daisy

Here's another I'm offering up for some critique... I haven't posted here for a while so I thought I would submit some photos for thoughts, comments and suggestions on how to better improve. Thanks as always

Poor daisy doesn't look like you waited until it woke up properly!

It looks a little underexposed to me. Great bokeh though.

You should follow MA's hint and take a new shot with more light. You could get a much brighter picture.

I agree that it could be a bit brighter. I quite like the shallow DOF, but maybe one more stop would get the whole flower. I like the composition and bokeh very much.

I took these in auto bracket so is this a bit better IYO? I'll go back and give it another go this evening.
Thanks for the advice...

I think the second image is better but it still lacks a little punch with the colors.

Love the bokeh!!!!!!!!!!

2nd is like a brand new image and the flower looks better though kat is right imo;the colours could be more saturated.

The background on the first shot though - Totally works for me.
This might be a GREAT time to try layering these images one on top of each other and experiment with different blending modes.
Hope that helps - Marko

Thanks for the advice everyone...
Here's the layered HDR version using all 3 shots and photomatrix...
What d'ya think? Any better or should I just go back for a re-shoot?
Thanks again...

I would go back for a reshoot Let us know when you post the new one

Here's tonight's visit/re-shoot..... fire away....personally I like the sharpness of the first set better but the colours of the petals on this version work better.
Any one else care to comment/critique away...thanks as always
