Tatty Daisy

Taken under natural lighting,

 

I believe this photo demonstrates the fragility of beauty.

 

Comments please?

 

Thanks!

This would benefit greatly by centering it at the upper third of the frame.

I think this is a misunderstood flower... I find it very refreshing after all those picture perfect creations. The colors are powerful without feeling oversaturated, and there is a darkness to the photo that harmonized perfectly with the subject.

I like the dark background. The picture seems well suited to a Greenpeace ad!

Thanks Stefan, and Evan. I was worried that maybe my aim was off a little with this, but your comments make me think that some of the people who rated this perhaps looked a little hastily. I think the fact that this daisy isnt perfect adds to the image. It shows that in nature, not everything is perfect!

 

Thanks again!

Hi Mark, I understand your attempt at a contrary asthetic, it does not change my opinion that this is a weakly executed photo. A good Idea does not necessarily make a good photo. I do like the other photos in your folder and I will reflect that in my ratings. We all have far more failures than strong photos. Yor may have noticed my specialization in botanicals, which is what I tend to gravitate to and rate. Unfortunately you forgot to express your opinion as to why you thought my photo was so bad. Since your rating was identical to my rating of this photo, and outside the range of other ratings I can only assume I was struck by a revenge barb. Ah well human nature... touchee! Perhaps I deserved it. Nature is read in tooth and nail. A rather perfect play on words, I believe by Lord Tennyson.
