Good Morning Everyone,

Welcome to a very rainy England!

I have tried to take a very simple approach to Helen's theme, today. I have simply used a dandelion which was growing at the edge of the garden.

Because the title was 'mellow', I softened the outline with a light vignetting and added a layer of pale yellow at a 15% opacity. (Actually, this hardly shows as yellow but has softened the whole.)

Many thanks for stopping by.
Please feel free to offer feedback on any aspect of the photograph. :-)

Okay, don't talk about rain, same here.

A lovely presentation of "Yellow" - you make an ordinary dandelion into an attractive almost romantic flower.

Hi Bev, some wet stuff here to when I let the dog out at 4am. A lovely delicate image which has been made more so by the vignetting. Good colourand detail and perfect for the theme. I did consider the vignette myself but I used it in the previous theme,
