This was probably the first idea that popped in my head. Originally I had thought about writing "hope" on a transparency sheet and putting it over the image but decided it worked without it. Pretty easy shot, just took one of the daisies I gave my wife two weeks ago(daisies last forever!) and stuck it in the crack of our patio. It took a couple shots to the the composition to where I liked it but I was pretty happy with this one. I also tried to stick the daisy into the street but it didn't really work as well so I left it as this. This will be my second entry with my 30D, the first one should be 6.0+ and I hope this one will get 6.0+ too!:)
Shot in jpeg, levels, brightness/contrast, hue/saturation, sharpen, unsharp mask, crop, reduce noise, resize, save for web. |

Critique Club Review:
Color Saturation and Hue: Colors are natural and fit well with this image.
Brightness and contrast: Contrast is excellent, brightness could be a bit brighter for me. (But then this could be my monitor. However, it looks like there was overcast sky and colors are just a little bit cool.)
Focus and Depth of field: Focus is sharp, and depth of field is used well to minimize background distractions. The top half of the flower does appear to go a little soft. It may be more of an illusion than real. Otherwise very nice job of eliminating background distractions, and considering the fact that the flower was just stuck in there likely very necessary.
Overall very good composition, the image sells the title rather than the other way round.
Very nice work. |

| The yellow pops out very well against the background. My preference would have been to see the whole flower head in focus. |
