I think the lighting looks really cool in this the way the seeds are backlit, but there is nothing in sharp focus and I find the wires distracting.

I really like the sun behind the dandelion, creates a neat effect. The power lines and off-center composition distract from that however. Good idea though.

Too bad you couldn't get the wires out of the shot. Great iridescent glow to the dandelion seeds.

Cool contrast between dandelion and power lions. Would have like even sharper focus on the former.

me too, but a little more light under the dandelion would have been good too

I'm sure you've been told this is OOF and the telephone lines are destracting. The lightin is off also.

Focus and detail are lacking a bit in this rather uninspiring image. I don't really understand how this can be your best photo ever taken and hidden gem.

Nice POV and backlighting.

Great use of light above the dandelion! I wish the power lines weren't there!

The light coming through the seeds is pretty cool but I find the background really distracting, sorry.

I like this. There's a nice visual link from the sphere shape created by the dandelion to the telephone pole.
The dandelion's easily floatable seeds often represent freedom, and here it additionally encompasses 'natural' freedom.
Impressive. I actually took a pic with a very similar theme when I first got my camera, but it's forever gone.

Very nice commentary - enjoying the rather surrealistic glow of a common dandelion amidst the humdrum sphere of powerlines.

...and *I* believe you've escaped from reality into a parallel universe. Are you happy there? Did you bring your meds? Over here in the real World we wish you well, and some of us even envy you, albeit secretly :-)

Good subject, but too much junk in the photo. All those wires & the pole need to go.

This is the perfect perspective to capture a flower or plant but there it to much light and to much distraction in the background. Good on you for the perspective tho!

Nice compositionally, the colors are decent, but the noise is a bit distracting

I like the idea & I think it was done relatively well, I find the wires & poles in the background distracting though.

Ok, I was going to write some platitudes but whats the point. I do kinda like it, but that might be only for the daring of it, who knows..

right...a unique interpretation of this subject for sure

Interesting choice of background. I am totally intrigued by this - a dandelion would suggest a country setting - and we see power lines behind it. I really like that daring choice. Very cool.

Difficult shot. A couple of things. First, the wires in the background, while they do frame the subject, are really more of a distraction here. Second, I would like if possible to see more detail (focus/ sharpness) on the seed parts of the flower. The stem is in clear focus but the top seems blury. The fluffs are pretty soft so it is a bit hard to be dure. I definately like you putting the sun behind it.

Good focus on the dandelion, and in using the light to bring detail to it. Unfortunate that the electrical lines are in the background.
