[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note

A closeup of the seeds of an really international, maybe even global plant: Dandelion, Taraxacum officinale or Taraxacum palustre. I think every child has blown them into the wind (or the face of another child) and watched them fly. You can eat the leaves as salad, when you pick the blossoms you have to look out for the milky juice in the hollow stems - it leaves nasty stains on clothing - which gave the plant also nasty nicknames.
Not much post-processing necessary witht this pic. Most of it cropping.

Hello Werner: It is a pretty picture with reflections of soft and beautiful floating details, I like the color and the shine. Those brilliant centers seem starlets. I see it here in my screen and I enjoy them in the clarity of the image, until me I can believe that I can make them fly with a light blow. Cordial greetings. *Ninfa Urania*
