Yes, it was flat light. But warm flat light can be nice for flowers. Here's the side by side.

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.
Okay, now that I see them both, I like no-flash much better.
It's more subtle, to be sure, but it's that sublety that I like. Besides, the flash undermines that lovely DOF of the leaves - the brightly lit ones in the background stand out too much; even if they're OOF, you don't get that lovely effect as you do in the no-flash photo.
Are we voting here? Put a check in the "no-flash" box for me. <g>
cheers, frank
