Fresh as a Daisy

[Michael13]

In Old English, people called daisies "day's eye" because the petals close at night and open with the morning sun.

This wild flower was found along the Oregon Coast, I thought it looked the prettiest of all the examples I had to choose from to photograph.

I usually shoot blooms in color but this one works quite well as a B&W.

Very nice Michael. I like the isolation of the flower and how it stands out against the dark background.

Love this in B&W!

And I didn't know the history, but it makes sense Michael, thanks for adding that.

Thanks Guys! I've been trying to find more scenes with high subject contrast as opposed to high lighting contrast. I am liking how these kinds of images convert to b+w.

That is an amazing image Michael. When i stare straight at the centre of the flower I can see moving swirling lines...Remarkable.
