Went to the nursery today to replenish the garden with some annuals. Prior to planting this lovely daisy, I remembered the game we all played growing up. I use to think of my first crush and pull each petal with the hopes of landing on "She loves me." When I turned 30, I finally figured out it doesn't work that way!
As always, your thoughts and comments are appreciated.

Hi there, when I looked at the thumbnail, I thought the space on the right where some of the petal are missing was black :) Anyhow, I like the composition. I would sharpen the flowers a bit though.
And if this photo were mine, I would turn the green background into black, too ;)
Nice one, John. I personally would have composed it with the missing petal in one of the four corners but this is also nice. Agree that it could use just a bit more sharpness - especially the center area.
Nice whites...good detail and really like the shadow play.
She loves me; she loves me not
