An African Daisy

I took this a few days ago in the harsh sunlight. The high shutter speed worked perfect for blacking out the background for the most part

Very cool. I like both.

I like them too. I perhaps wish that in the first there was /something/ more in focus, but this may be some ridiculous technical hang-up (mine) that actually has no bearing on me enjoying the photo.

I might also remove the mostly occluded rightmost petal / corner on the second shot; but that would be super-niggling in preparation for a print.

Solid work.

Thanks for the comments and feedback guys I appreciate it as I do plan on printing the 1st image at some point!!

like 1 a lot, the floating effect is nice

Very nice. I really like the contrast of black and white.

I do not care for either one. I find there is no sharpness on either photo.

I might have to disagree with the above post. I actually like the short dof on this pictute. It makes the black and white effect more interesting.
