If I had to choose I think I'd go for the 'no-flash' take, just because I like the symmetry (somewhat compromised by the shadow in the 'flash take). But both are great.

Hi Bruce,
Yes, it was flat light. But warm flat light can be nice for flowers. Here's the side by side.
No flash:

Flash: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=3275980
I like them from straight on. Particularly when the cone and petals are a different color. I've shot them from a lot of different angles as well, but head-on is ?robably my favorite daffodil look. That's highly subjective of course.

Hmm....seems that you were dealing with flat light in general. I'd have to see them side by side to decide which I liked better. I don't really like the direct on shot of this one. Daffodils have shapes that are good to show off.
-- Best regards, Bruce
