Not normally a shot I go for, but what the heck... Thoughts?

I'm not much into macro stuff so I can't offer much of a critique. All I know is I like the contrasts of yellow and blue. Nice shot.

This will sound funny. But the shot almost looks like something that could've been painted on a piece of china.

I like the contrasting color and the DOF.

I'm certainly no expert - but here's my thought for what it's worth. The background looks bright. Is that a background that you placed there? Most of the time if there is an artifical background on something like this I'd rather see black or a subdued color that compliments the color of the main subject.

The background is the sky, I basically layed down in a field of flowers and took the shot looking toward the sky.

Most artisitc IMHO, nice job of composition and perspective. :clap :clap The background is a bit bright but you can always try some cool PS effects if you get the notion.:wink

Ha! I wouldn't have guessed that! In that case, I'd say you did well with what you had.

Here's the little patch of flowers where I was shooting

Ed,
Fantastic shot...I agree with Ian in that it looks like a scene painted on china. I especially like the framed version.

:thumbI love it! The flower looks so bold, but still so delicate. And the contrast of the yellow and blue is beautiful. Aperture and exposuer are perfect. Good job!
