 This really was serendipity for me. I did not see the dandelion when I took the photo or chose the crop. When I did see it I was amazed that I had not noticed it before.

NIce image and composition. For the title to work the dandelion should proably have a more prominent role.

Maybe if we were closer to the dandelion...the subject would be more distinguishable.

It's one of those decisions that's tough to make. Had you not mentioned it in the title I would have given you a higher score for having found it. I do enjoy looking for the theme when its not ovbvious and have suffered for those that don't.
Theme: Classic / Light / Dark
