I like them both. Kaikoura is dramatic. I like the texture of the rocks in the foreground. Nice flow to photo; I especialy like the swath of clouds that are moving in the same direction as that flow. What I like about More Flowers is that, firstly, they seem to be simple common daisies, Second, the flower in the foreground is wilting - not your average flower foto. There's almost a poignancy to it all - like you've managed to capture a certain beauty even as the bloom is beginning to wither. Finally, I like the lighting - flower in the foreground in bright late-day sunlight, the one in the background in the shadow. Nice composition, nice OOF background. Nice justaposition between the bright wilting foreground flower and the quite-alive darker background one. Both very nice photos. cheers, frank -- "It's about time we started to take photography seriously and treat it as a hobby." -Eliott Erwitt
