The Dutch Master Daffodil is one of the several types of trumpet daffodils, which are characterized by a single large blossom per stem and an exceptionally long trumpet, which is equal in length to the petals, or sometimes longer.edit 1edit 2
I like the image and it's of good size, and I want to see if it's of featured picture quality.
Sorry, don't have time to comment at length, however to be brief I don't find this ideal compositionally. The new crop is just too tight all around (the original was actually too tight on top and left to start with; incidentally, if you are going to crop as tight as you have at the bottom, you really should crop the right of image as well to the edge of the foreground flowers, so at least the crop is balanced on the two main flowers). I wonder if you have a version not so tight to the edges? The other area I think this may suffer in is that the two main flowers are overlapping, and the flowers in the background also 'overlap' onto the main flowers. People tend to be pretty harsh on flowers at FPC and my personal feeling is that they would jump on those things. I could be wrong - plenty of others seem to like this, but just thought you should be alert to these possible concerns. The detail etc on these particular flowers is very good though. --
