These little daisy type things grow all over the field behind my yard. I enjoy them even if they are just a “weed”.

You used composition well and the layers of tonality and focus give it a three dimensional feel which is difficult in a two dimensional art form. Very well done!

It meets all the classic criteria for an outstanding photo: it follows the rule of thirds, and the background is darker than the flowers, and I forget what the other way of measuring the quality of a photo is!

I'm being way too verbose! I love your photo. Ya done good, yes you did!
