Nicely shot. I like the DOF and intricate details captured on the foreground dandelion. Well done. The border is appropriate for this shot and helps to support the composition.
I'm guessing the opposite is one compared to a group? Nice idea but the execution of the shot leaves me wanting more contrast and a little better composition overall. Maybe the full one in the shot as a whole would help? The DOF works for this shot but also maybe if the background dandylion was just a bit closer, not quite a fuzzy? A 3
Brilliant. This says 'alone' opposed to 'in a crowd' to me. Totally impressed by the clarity and focus of that single seed against the unfocused crowded seed head.
I'm not really a fan of square crops or borders, BUT this really is an exception for me. I love the composition, DOF, exposure, even the desaturation. It really all works together very well. 8
Oh, I wish this had been an "aliens from without" challenge. The Righthand half of your image would have taken the Blue for sure! Super photography (but) the reference is a bit obscure for Opposites. Nevertheless, I'm very glad to have seen this image! Good one.
Terrific, gets top spot from me.
My only comment would be that the back seedhead is a little too soft for me. I'd like to see it just a tad sharper, and I'd like a slightly bluer and brighter light. These are personal preferences and don't detract from a beautiful image. Congrats
