The colors are splendid. I really like how well you blend the colors and softness of the background. Your subject placement is also very attractive. The flowers have crisp definition that jumps out against the lovely softness.

Well Hello Sunny Sunshine Yellows!
This is stunning Cara!
I love the tick yellow gold tones, the sharp focus on all the flowers and the superb use of light.
Great soft dreamy like background with a touch of Annie magic.
Fine work!!
;)

Oh I bet the full bouquet of these was just gorgeous av....your presentation of just a few of them is so lovely.

So...color first this time. How well you've taken several flowers....all of similar color and created such a classic....yet well defined image. I think your strategically placed bits of green, unopened buds could just not be better for defining the separate but so closely matched in color blossoms. All flowers are wonderfully crisp....beautiful details in all the buds. It is well exposed and your signature background is just the most lovely frame for your butter yellow creation.

The Gerber Daisy is exquisite av. A really pretty little image....it's simplicity belies the effort you put into putting these images together.

Deborah

A beautifully presented, perfectly positioned photograph with a good choice of effects to accentuate the flower(s) themselves. Great clarity, good range of colour and detail in the flowers themselves, pictured against a fitting background - great shot.

Favorites of mine as well as many out there, I am sure. What a fabulous photo you have here. You captured the essence of the daisy as well as the detail in the rosebud. Very beautifully done. Masterfully executed.

Gorgeous presentation of this bow bouquet of yellow flowers.Very sharp focusing centrally and gradually fading out in the background works well giving this a soft feel to the presentation

WOW!! This take proves you are a master of this art form.

You have dialed in your camera to produce the most intricate and delicate detail of each flower - bravo.

Even though the color range is not very wide it all seems to flow together so well - mountains of eye appeal.

Your expertise with your choice of software present a pleasing background that emphasizes the beauty of the blossoms.

I cannot think of any portion of this superb take that could be improved.

This take is a symphony of color and light well, rehearsed and played with love.

Thanks for sharing this exquisite piece of mixed media art ... B-)) Bob

I think this bouquet can be called "classical", even the small pert you used gives this impression. Those yellow-cream shades topped with a little orange are beautiful. The new background is skilfully applied and the zoom and topaz lens effects are efficiently applied. The flowers are also sharp captured. The bouquet is well placed into the frame.

I am always amazed with your backgrounds. Can't wait for you to post another each time. If you don't mind me asking. How do you do the background? Great job.

    Thank you so very much for the lovely review Vince, and of course also for all the stars. I do a lot of things to create this background starting by cutting out the flowers. Then I Gaussian blur on the original photo.I duplicate the cut out flower, and add zoom effect in Photoshop to one of them. Then I duplicate the zoom effect twice and create swirls. I also add a drop shadow the flower arrangement. Of course I play a lot around with the placement of the swirls and the zoom effects.
