Here in florida, the summer means intense heat and terrible storms... I'll keep my winter a while longer :)

Lovely colors and offset nicely in the green background.

    Thank you so much Eileen! What?s funny is that our summer temperatures are probably very close to your winter ones!
Comment from Renate-Bertodi


sometimes when I watch these beautiful sceneries in Alaska, I do wonder about how cold you feel or don't feel. As a child refugee, we had few clothes and remember that feeling of cold. Hunger, if you are born into it, you just don't notice, but cold coming after summer you do! I was amazed to find some small roses left over from last summer. Beautiful photo of a dandelion, with its bright yellow, or is it?

Oh I wish it were too. So much grey skies not a normal winter in Germany. But here you have a memory of a dandelion. I love dandelions .. their form and their colour, the leaf shape and then their seeds. They have it all.. they can brighten a dark spot and cause havoc with their roots in a vegetable garden lol....Your photograph is delightful. The bloom is leaning reaching for light and sun. The light on petals and greenery is well caught and makes your captjmure artful. I m always looking at this type of capture because as an artist you can learn what to add to your paintings and know that it works.

A nicely positioned radiant flower with vibrant sunshine color.
Dark verdant background pops out subject conspicuously...

Nice inclusion of two buds lurking in the dark...

Lovely yellow daisy brightening your day contrasting nicely against the darkened background. Focus is sharp and the exposure and white balance great. :)

Comment from Susan F. M. T.


Pat,
A beautiful picture of this much maligned Dandelion is golden face open to the sun with a bud beside it. They are attractive to Bees & Butterfies & other four legged creatures. I think if they came in fancy seed packets in the Garden Centre they might well be very popular. I have plenty in my lawn..I keep then in check by mowing before they set seed. Beautiful composition framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

Yes, I can understand your feelings about winter over there. Here, in our part of the UK, we have had fog for the last few days and several car crashes as a result. Your lovely nature shot is well composed, sharp and well exposed. Well taken!

Me too! I wish it were summer. You photo is a beautiful reminder of nice summer days. The Dandelion glows like a little sun. The photo is excellent focused and exposed. The colors are natural-realistic. The depth is perfect. The soft, shallow background emphasizes the flower profoundly. The Dandelion is expertly placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.
