ok...gripe first. That leaf in the top left is drawing my eye. Its only a little gripe because the image IS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!!
I wouldn't try and remove the leaf...just darken it a little more.
The main pic is just perfect. Wonderful light, colour and something else. You have managed to present a pic that is razor sharp and yet has this wonderful subdued feeling, a softness to it. I love it...everything about it. Composition/crop is smack on to.

Very nice pic

Oh yeh that does it for me, I do agree about the leaf at the top. Only other thing I'd do is to try and capture the same image again with a ground frost ....... wonderful

Great idea Alistair...frost would really make this even better than it already is, enhancing further the contrast of softness and sharpness.

fuzzy wuzzy sharpness ... I never noticed the varicose veins on the Leaf until now ... I suggest You carry a Pair of Gardening Scissors
with You for the next Daisy that may need a clip :]

...or one could just carry along a black felt pen..to blacken out veins, grass or anything that tends to be a wee bit annoying....even aphids?
