Most beautiful dandelion I've ever seen! Great composition which excels at presentation, clarity and contrast. Great B&W choice which enhances the ethereal quality of the composition. The fact that the micro shot focused on the center of the dandelion amd left the peripheries blurred brought depth and perspective to the image. Very elegant shot.

It maybe just the seed of a weed, but it's an epic and important little weed seed. Not to mention it is also quite fluffy and beautiful haha. A really lovely close up and nice choice in going to black and white.

This is wonderful the way you took this one. I like the silky look to the seeds. I like the way you took it so closeup and filled the frame with the seeds. I like the way it looks in the black and white. An excellent picture. Good luck in the contest.

I too like close ups. This is so effective in the detail and the patterns created by the seed flights. Nice job
