Underside of a daisy

[Eetu]

Just experimenting with taking photos from different angles and the sun behind a daisy. Any suggestions of how to improve the composition or post-processing are welcome. Ned

Intersting perspective Ned. I like the bokeh on #1!

Nice perspective! I like the contrast and detail in the first photo best.

Thanks guys! My wife really likes the first one, too!

All the best!

The first one is the best, but each of the others offers something interesting. It's a nice series.

I think on the second one you might try brightening it a bit - not a huge amount as you'd lose the detail in the petals quickly. The third one is really interesting - I would have never thought to photograph it that way (I'd be more likely to shoot the second one). It's neat, I like it too. The use of flash (I assume you used flash to get the stem green) worked very well. The 4th one is a bit soft - I prefer the dof in the first one better. I also like the last one, but find the cut-off flowers in the bottom a bit distracting. I wouldn't crop them out - I like the framing as it is. Perhaps clone out the two bottom ones? I don't know, might make it less balanced. It would be something to experiment with but might not be an improvement. In any case, it's only a little thing, not something to toss the photo out over, it's really fine the way it is.

Hi Harriet! Thank you for your help suggestions and comment, glad you liked the photos. With regard to the last photo, well I felt something was lacking... in the composition... but getting under a daisy, well not much room... anyway, I am not too good at cloning things out, but I did do a slightly different crop. Wonder if this helps. Again, my thanks.

Nice series Ned, love the perspective and the juxtaposition of the white flower on the blue background.

Number one is a knock out!
