More like the machine gun I was forced to use turned my catch into 
hamburger that I couldn't carry home because I forgot my plastic bags...

The white flowers were a little blown out in the second image, so I used 
a bit of trickery as well as a bit of negative exposure compensation to 
give them some texture.   Boosting the shadows ruined the effect of my 
other corrections so I decided to post as is.

At first I didn't even noticed the butterfly not having the sharpest

But given the focus being on the daisies, you can call it
"Daisies' Monarchy".

I like the composition of the first one much more than that of the 2nd 
one. Besides, the shadow potions of second one (including the 
butterfly itself) look a bit dark on my monitor.

I wonder if a "fill-in" (boosting shadows) would help it shining more.



Cheers,

Igor

Science - Questions we may never find answers for.
Religion - Answers we must never question.

PS: One quart of daisy heads, one quart of cold water. Let stand 
forty-eight hours. Strain and add three-quarters pound of sugar to each 
quart of liquid. Let stand about two weeks, or till it stops fermenting. 
Strain again and bottle. It improves with keeping.
