Well we can't hate it any more. You have done a wonderful job capturing the secret life of a dandelion. An excellent macro. Love how the inner stamens are breaking away. Heralding the transformation into the lovely puffballs we love to blow on. I love dandelion greens so to me they are not a weed but I would not eat one found in a garden or a park One of your best shots this year

Great initial impact. Love the exploding look give off by the dark lines. Good focus and color. Good texture and lighting. Nice creative shot and technique. I love that the flower is the whole image. TY

This is a really beautiful shot of a weed! I can't believe how beautiful the inside of a dandelion is! Nice focus, framing and lighting. Really great capture!

At this angle it does look beautiful. Growing in my yard, not so much. I love the cluster of petals in the center. The macro image is stunning. Very nice.

Beautiful and interesting view of the dandelion. Really like the texture; the petals look like feathers in an intricate textile design. Very unique and not common at all.

This is really amazing. I would run it through a noise reducer to smooth out the noise but your framing is great and wow those black stamen parts flaring out really is attractive :)

It deserves a higher rating. A fine shot of this unwanted weed.

The color and detail are just excellent. Your right surprising beauty.

Well done annie, It is a winner.

You have made the lowly dandelion a majestic image. Magic. Love the more golden color than the usual bright yellow. Did you play with the color? Enjoyed

    I did not play with the color. I think it is less yellow because it was sitting in the shadow, and of course also because of the camera settings. Thank you for the nice review.
