CRITIQUE CLUB CRITIQUE

This is a lovely, peaceful feeling picture. It speaks of purity and happiness. I can easily imagine it making a stunning print.
Compositionally, I think the the picture's subject and general composition conflict with eachother. The subject, and all of the white/light colors, indicate that this is a very peaceful shot. However, it is placed within the upper right of the frame, close to the edge and near the corner with a lot of foreground space. This feels a bit off-balance. *I think* less foreground and more background, with the flower lower in the frame would make this shot feel much more balanced and stable.
Technically, I think you have done a super job. The focus, lighting, exposure, etc. are very well done. The shallow dof you have really adds to the dreamy feeling of the shot.
Just a note on the border -- some people love them, some hate them. I personally am ambivalent towards them unless the frame is the first thing I notice. In this shot, because it is so broad, I noticed the frame and then looked at the picture. When voting, I typically don't detract points for that, but it does take away from the overall effect, and in essence, gives the viewer a smaller picture to judge. Just a thought.
As bod said, this is a very elegant photograph.
Nicely done and best to you in future challenges. If I need to further explain or clarify myself, please feel free to let me know.

| I don't much go for the large border. I'd rather look at the shot. |

| the dof is lovely.. this is a seemingly great floral portrait, but the border takes away from me seeing more of the image. i would like to see it closer up to see the detail in the daisy but the border keeps me from that. |

| Neat! Il ike the border, although IMO it's maybe a bit tOO big. but as for the shot itself, I really love the shallow depth of field. It's so neat how so much of the shot is just a sweet blur, and rising out of it is the single sharp flower. Nice job! |
