Okay, I have to work really fast to finish typing this, it's 11:50 server time and this is so last minute.
I've been sick since I shot this, and I thought about it at 11. Eeeeek!

I hope you all like it, maybe there's not enough noticeable spots. The background is spotted paper, I thought the yellow filler flowers would be good spots, and of course, the daisy has spots or whatever on the inside.

Meh, considering you guys, I'll get a billon DNMC comments and get a horrible score. Think OUTSIDE the box, please!

the odd shade of background green keeps me from liking this more.

this is a great shot, the red against the green works well for me, good sharp image, well framed, and the spots and dashes of white, make it fit the challange. well done

Wow. That's some unique lighting to be that balanced thruout. The DOF is wonderful on this and what needs to be in focus is. Good control of your environment. The colors are saturated enough, but not overboard. The connection to the theme is a little thin. Yes, there are some spots, but they are a relatively small part of this composition. That might hold this entry back some. All JMO of course. Good luck in the challenge.
