Wouaw with such a beatyfull picture, I feel the heat of the sun and the parfume of all those daffodils.
Here, we are freezing ( 10°C ) in the rain....I am already expecting to be six months later to make pictures like yours...;-)

@Jean-Michel: Well in six months I can enjoy your spring pictures so that will be nice today it is 29C and blowing alot.

This must be the best way to photograph daffodils . . the translucence of those petals simply cries out for this! Neato !

I also prefer this one - but it's marginal. These shots aren't easy - if you are looking at experimenting, you could try to underexpose the photo by as much as a stop, and then compare at the end. You will find that by doing this you will capture more of the texture of the petals - but you then have to weigh that up with losing some of the brilliance that you've got here.

@dobbino: Thanks for the advice. I think I also prefer this photo
@Zygène: Merci
@Lorraine: Thanks very much Lorraine
