 This shot was taken in my back yard of a weed that seemed to just pop up. It is not a dandelion but probably related. It has very few seeds (approximately 20) per bud, which is about 5/8 inch in diameter.



Converted from RAW with the normal adjustments in exposure, contrast, white balance, and saturation. I cropped a quite small section from the original, resized, stroked a frame, colored from within picture, applied USM and saved as a JPEG for the WEB.

Neat, at first. But there's a lot to look at. A bit distracting after a longer look. Nice picture though. 6

This is really nice. I like how the background is soft, it helps bring out the foreground.
