*stares for a bit...*....god that's pretty sweet there....XD.It's like watching one of those 3-D movies with the glasses.Very nicely shaded and you did a great job in making it come out at ya.The only thing that bothers me a bit is the rough outside edges.Maybe you could use the a little bit of the airbrush tool and smooth it out a bit?Otherwise, this is just great^^.

At first I thought " hmm, ok let's see, what can we find wrong here.." but then no, nope this is just too nice. Very crisp, very refreshing.

this is beautiful work! the only thing I can find wrong is there aren't any coming up in my yard yet! Thank you for the touch of much needed spring! Excellent work!

This is excellent and beautiful! I love daffydills! :) The dewdrops were a perfect touch to this... I'm just gonna sit here and gaze at this for a minute, if you don't mind.

pretty cool, I can see a couple improvements which wouldn't be too difficult.

The main thing is contrast. Although the flower has nice contrast over the background, I think more contrast in the yellow would give it more needed depth. It is quite possible that you can just go in there with a low opacity burn tool and slowly build up some darker darks. The only other thing is with the drops of water. I would probably add a little more contrast in those, and perhaps use the pen tool on the rightmost one there so that it does not have such a pixelated edge.

I see what you mean, the area right around the pistil. I'll fix it in a few minutes... gotta do some hw first.

Just repairing a few things that have been bothering me. There are still few, now that I'm looking at it again... *sigh*

this made me smile. not because it's a flower, but because of the yellow in the central region. it's just very sunny-looking. hehe umm...
