Any comments? I'm not putting it here as an example of good photography so fire away

I really like the bokeh and colours. For me, though, the void in the centre of the picture puts me off a little.

For me, there are too many daisies to look at, so I had a play with it - hope you do not mind :-

I love the crop and think the composition is good

Hyram you oversharpened that badly, you have made the bokeh grainy

Noted

Done in a hurry - should have left it just an altered crop

Darkmunk, nice job, with the caveats mentioned already about the centre being too empty. I did want to add, too, that you did well to get more than one of the daisies in focus, creating a nice balance with those that are blurred and those that are part of the bokeh. Keep it up!
