I was looking for an undisturbed dandelion and found this near perfect speciman. I mounted it to a stand, placed it in front of a black background, and backlight it with the morning sun. I used a #4 diopter for the close up.
Post processing was minimal using contrast/lightness, saturation, and small amount of cloning to remove some unwanted lens flash. Last but not least USM was applied.

This proves that even the humble dandelion can have its day. And what a day.
I don't think a single seed is missing, so you must have caught it just right. The lighting is crucial and it is good.
I like your lighting for the most part..it is a little strong in places.. These 'dandylions' are fun to shoot and make good photos. Your is okay but could be a bit more sharp.
