Beautiful composed with a natural arrangement of the blooms perfectly positioned within the frame. The small spray of the leaves at the top adds just the right touch and has the interesting effect of seeming to point to the flowers. Lighting is perfect as is the dark background. Top notch color, clarity and detail all make this is a stunner. Great ob and good luck in the contest.

Yes, although I 'color corrected" them in Color efex pro. They are better than before.

Comment from Alveria
Beautiful white daisies. Great clarity showing detail and texture. Very nice composition with the black background that really make the white daisies "pop". Excellent exposure with great initial impact.

Love the format and framing. The real winner is that perfect focus and the wonderful blue. Very subtle.
Nicely blacked out Background. This is a wonderful image.

Best luck!

Great lighting and clarity. Nice focus. It looks like I could pick them right out of the photo. I never knew these were September bloomers and
deer resistant.

Thank God, Something that is deer resistant. Great detail, especially of the center. Pedals are also nice. Interesting arrangement of the flowers. Even though the white and yellow are bright everything appears to be subdued.
Great contrast against the black b/g.

Comment from FBI GUY
Neon white that is not overcooked. Stunning! The cluster of the blooms gathered together is beautiful. The focus is sharp and the yellow centers pop the scene. The black background takes the enhancement of the blooms to the next level. The tidbit of the green leaves add a nice change of focus for the scene.

Very nice picture of these daisies. They might be originally from Japan but let me tell you that you may find them all over around Portugal ! You should come here and see :) Nice picture. Thanks you for sharing.

Thanks Yes, I imagine they grow everywhere they are so hardy and prolific. They grow well around the ocean so I imagine in Portugal that is important. Thanks.
