Driving Miss Daisy

crosmill · May 25, 2004

I used a + 3Close up lens and a polariser.

I think maybe the daisies could have been a bit higher in the frame?

I really like it - possibly could have been a little brighter as you said... but over all - nice shot!

I'd definitly say put the daisies higher up in the frame.

I like the daisy, maybe try cropping the 1/2 top off to a panoramic shot or 1/3 off left & 1/2 top

Keep up the Good Work

Now who of you all took this other, most amazing daisy picture the other day, the one about which I asked "How on earth were you positioned to take it?" - where is is again? What was the title of that thread? That was a very good example of a very interesting camera position for a daisy pic.
Let me go look for it, and I might edit the link into this post...

Editing in:
Ah yes, it was the BigRC who took "his" daisy portrait and it is here:

Now how on earth would I quote this pic by getting it into here for some direct viewing?

Personally, I like it the way it is. Don't know why. I just wish there was a little something more in the background, like clouds in the sky. It seems to have an Eastern feel to me, which follows a different asthetic than Western work.

I agree with Mark about the eastern feel and I like it's composition and look a lot. The main thing that detracts a little for me is the lack of really sharp focus on any of the daisies and overall a little too cool in coloring. Increasing red and yellow ever so slightly in color balance and using some sharpening of the foreground might help.

The sky seems a little dark in relation to the rest of the photo but I love the croping. Makes me want to put that on my desktop or something. It has such an open space feel to it yet very elegant. Great job!
