springtime,
a season for dreams...
colors, rain and i guess allergies:)

it's my second spring season in Italy...and somehow it still gives me a sense of surreality....it's like a transition....winter and summer are two extremes....and spring is like the negotiator...

this was taken and post processed with one concept in mind, a dedication to spring, in a dreamy way...i decided to have this (some might say strange) composition to draw a sense of query...for me, photography probably is very subjective....probably if a photo seemed to draw you in, to click on it...then i guess i have half succeeded...:)

c&c will be very much appreciated.....have a nice day folks....while spring lasts:)

I love the mood and the colours! It would be pérfect if some of the seeds were flying away...:) I love the cropp! I would crop it a tiny little bit more..... I'll make a Workshop to show the little difference. In my opinion there is a little too much space above the nose. But its a minor thing....

Great shot, I want to try it some day.

I love the simplicity and the unusualness combined in this shot. Great light and colour, beautifully managed depth of field.

Great crop, leaves the viewer wondering. Colours are great

...artistic point of view... all my compliments,
J ;)

Simply beautiful !!!!
The red touch of the lipstick adds a lot the compo, your choice of framing is great.
Bravo !

Eleen,

Excellent juxtaposition in tone, color and texture!

The fact that you cropped the image to exclude the woman's eyes helps to draw attention to the lips and the action of beginning to blow the seeds off the dandelion.

Well done!
Michael

Wow, this shot is simply amazing! Its simple yet brilliant. Perfect exposure and colors that just POP! Looks like it belongs in a magazine.

hi Eleen

Very bold portrait, something like for a commercial ad setup?

I would have cropped the bottom until edge of that cotton ball, and maybe aim the focus on the face rather than the cotton ball, especially the red lips [can I kiss them too?].

Watch the face, the exposure almost goes over.

Nice creative shot.

tfs, bill

Glad to see you're still photographing ! Love this.
