| Like the idea, love the drops of water, and overall a really nice picture. I agree that just a little bit brighter yellow probably would have jumped the score up a wee bit more. I also would have preferred to see the ends of all the petals, but that is just my personal opinion. |

I've read a few of the other comments and your post about the shot. And yes, there's a little problem with the background, but honestly, it seems to fit the point of the shot. This is a rainy day picture, so the sun is not bright and the daisy is sitting peacefully in the twilight. I actually think yo could have darkened the one bright area around the petals just a bit to soften the appearance of flash.
It's a good shot and you clearly deserved to move on to the next round.
Congratulations. |

| I liked this one quite a bit Rachel, and honestly feel it should have socred higher. It it not too dark to me at all - I tend to like things darker than the average DPC'er does, it seems. It's got a very rich and luxurious feel to it, and is one of the times I don't mind the "spray it with water!" approach - it works well here. Composition is excellent. |

| This looks like a very well done shot that needs a levels adjustment. Sorry to continue the trend of "too dark" comments, but it's a touch dark :) Beautiful composition, and I like the water. |

I like the macro here...a little more light on the outer edges of the petals would have helped...
Love the sharpness on the water drops...
Great crop and composition...well done |

Only nine votes below 4, overall, people liked this photo, but only 11 votes over 7, says not many LOVED it. When I look at it, does not convey a bright, happy yellow, more a thoughtful, reflective hue. Not a bad thing at all, but may be why the main population (including me) said, good shot, but...........! Hope I am getting my elusive point across here, I think a LITTLE bit brighter may have made a world of difference, but, as always, that is MY OPINION!

| I like the sharpness of the water onthe petals but would liked to have seen that sharpness carry through to the center of the flower. Sharper detail for the whole may have cut back on the whole lighting issue. I liked it because it wasn't another bright and happy flower shot. |

Interesting composition, the way you have the flower positioned in the bottom right corner. I think this works well and adds an element of interest to 'the millionth' of these shots!
The lighting could be improved, either that or some more post-processing to really make the colours and contrast pop. Right now it looks a little bit grey and flat.
The water on the petals adds nicely to the shot. |

| I think this may have suffered score-wise because of the unsharpness of the central petal, where it bends towards you and pops out of the plain of focus (is that the right terminology?). |

| This is a very pleasing composition that maybe could have been lightened up a little. Again, as one of many flowers it probably suffered during the voting process but it is one that I personally like and would be proud to have taken myself. |

| Nice, sweet flower, nice colors, though just a tad dark for my personal taste, seems the yellow could/should be a touch brighter but it works like this as well. Lovely composition and lines, a 7 |
