A reshoot from earlier.

Shot "blind" per se. Set the polarizer for optimal blueness, then adjusted exposure, put the camera on the ground facing up, and shot.

I really don't expect this to do well -- it is a flower shot afterall, but here's goes anyway.

Hi Karma,
I like the idea but I beleave your choice of the plant itself was the wrong choice. The plant itself has to many spent flowers & the one right in front there is a real distraction. I would have liked to have seen a fuller more tightly packed group. I would have also recomposed eleiminateing the tree line (lower right). In this case because of the butter cup being so small by nature more would have been nice. Also with that beautiful blue sky with no distrations showing us all of the cups would have helped greatly.

What I fancy most of all in this is the dof. The flowers in and out of focus is glorious. It's how I would have approached it too I guess. To me it's very appealing and makes me feel as though I'm basking in the sunlight, daydreaming. Nice.

nice colours - I love the shades of blue of the sky. I also like the DOF but my eyes really want to see some larger buttercups - to see what they're like.
