Hi Sweety,

I do like this macro shot of the flower. It's so delicate. I like the contrast of the white against the black background.

Hope the weather clears up for you soon! Lisa

Oooh boy Sweety, this is something! What an amazing shot! I love the shallow depth of field, the colours, and the unusual composition. This has the intensity and beauty of one of those Hubble Telescope photographs of a distant galaxy.
The light is perfect, the placement of your sharpest elements, in the upper-right third of the frame, is spot-on.
Personally I find this one of your best - I love it!

Hi Sweety Pie
Hey, this is good. Very good macro of the dandelion. The closeness and sharpness are well done, and the colours and details are spot on.
I find these 'weeds' hard to photograph, and I really congratulate you on this one

Hi Sweety,
Your studio setup is like mine. This appears like a thistle(?) and the framing is effective. You have a good eye for composition. Tech details look good. Best regards, Danilo

Hi Sweety,
Excellent work with this faded dandelion!
I like much the cold and warm contrast, the lightness and movement you created and the mix of softness and sharpness. Really interesting. Bravo! Annie

Missed some of your postings...sorry! This is a great close up. The shallow DOF works perfect here. It's one of the best macro's I've seen of such a seeded daffodil. The "umbrella's" (as they are called in the Netherlands) are like stars. I really enjoy this image.
Kia ora en de groetjes,

Hi Sweety, thx so much for the wishes. The same to you. I know what it is to be sick as I had a hard cold this spring.
Very nice dandelion for the wishes, well captured with good depth of light.

Cheers, Yan :)

Hey Sweety,

Nice macro. I love this shot. I like the crop of the flower. The lighting is spot on. The pappi look like little explosions at the tips. I like how they are overexposed with a diffuse glow. Spectacular.

I don't know why the dandelion is so reviled by people, often called "pissabeds" or some regional variant thereof. I find them awfully photogenic.
