Mother's Day Daisy

[Idaho Girl]

Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there. Here is my post for today. My sweet stepdaughter sent me a lovely bouquet of flowers in a basket. I used my +10 filter attached to my 18-55 kit lens to get this shot. I know Daisy photos are a dime a dozen, but this is my first. (I am just getting into DSLR photography and love "getting up close.:" The daisy has a pink tinge, I did adjust the brightness a tad and also clarify. What do you think of the composition? Any pointers for getting macro shots crystal clear, mine tend to be blurry.

I like the composition. And it seems to me that the center of the flower is pretty much in focus. I'm not sure what type of lens you are using but that may be a factor in how much of the flower is in focus as well as your aperture - you could have tried maybe f/6.3. I don't know... I'm just learning too LOL.

Love the light coming through the petals in the upper right corner.
