Good DoF for this simple nature shot (maybe a more striking nature in an urban environment than your current entry?). I like the way the backlighting catches the petals.

Jolie vue!
J'aime bien la mise au point sur la fleure!
On dirait le Chrysler Building de New York en arrière plan! ;-)
Beau travail!

Hi Daniel

I like the tranlucent quality of the flowers with the backlighting, & the narrow dof. Well done!

Hi Daniel, interesting angle that creates some sort of competition between the flower and the rising building in the background, good DOF to isolate the flower, this being increased by the light falling on it, finally the competition ends in favour of the flower as it seems to be magnified by the building that we imagine high and rise higher that it actually does.
Well seen !

The great mobile phone building seems me as a ghost in the background, the few flowers on the foreground make everything excellent.
Greetings John.

This is a DOF as well as a daffodil show. Great compo. Interesting way to show this flower in its context.

Sure another part of the world Dan. Daffodils in december is just not actual at all in my part of the world.
Fine details included with the tree and the building in the back.

Aa wonderful urban-nature shot, Daniel. Excellent colors and DOF. THe tree in the middle distance adds a lot of atmospher as a middle-way oblect between the city and the bature. Beautiful job.

Very pretty to see this outburst of nature in the urban setting, Dan. The backlight enhances the white petals in a beautiful way, and I like how the hazy skyscraper silhouette in the back is degraded to a decorative item for your composition. The barren tree in the middle makes a nice divider between the two.

What!?! Daffodils already?
Well, it's still early for them here in England - lucky you to see them in Tokyo.
The shot is excellent. This type of contrasts between nature and urban concrete jungle always works.
In your case, you captured it in a very sensible way, professionaly adjusting the right DOF and using a polariser to surpress harsh backlight.

A superb photo Daniel. You have really put these beautiful flowers in a good setting. The tower in the back having the same lines as the flowers helps to create such good composition. The blurred background also gets the main subject to come out more. I enjoy the contrast between the city and nature. Really a great shot.

oh - missed this one (and a lot more) - amazing to see daffodils in blossom this time of year - you got this lovely flowers in a very fine angle and with a great background - I like the blurred view of tree and building.

Thanks Dan.

Great shot, indeed.
Hi Dan,
This is a nice composition!
I like the lightning around the flower and the building in the background like a shadow.
Well done,
Nino.
