blue daisy.

This daisy is very lovely, and I think it knows it is. The long slender stem is beautifully used as a way to draw the eye up it to the bloom itself. When looking at the bloom, the petals serve as more arrows to pull the eye into the middle of the flower, but are also interesting to look at in and of themselves due to the slender and elegant shape, as well as the few and perfectly placed dew drops on them.

The amount of detail that is captured in this photo is outstanding - the little hairs along the stem and the underside of the flower, and the outline of the dew drops add to the depth and understanding of the subject and the complexity of it as well.

The background is chosen beautifully, as the smudge of yellow helps the blue petal stand out stronger against it. The yellow middle of the flower stands out already against the petals, but is emphasized by the blue edges of the background, and is enhanced significantly by the yellow smudge.

The logo in the left hand corner is also placed nicely, though might be a little big for my tastes. It does not distract in its design or placement and does not take away from the subject, though it does again seem a little big. I would have kept all corners consistent and dark, and at least have made it smaller.
