inspired by a Photographer in Gent, Belgium.
I saw her picture during the winter and thought to try it myself. I had to wait until spring for the dandalion to be available :) Unfortunately I can't remember her name.

I'm sure there will be some questions on how I did this: the lines are fishing lines taped to a piece of glass. The dandalion paddles are placed with tweasers in position. The shot is taken downwards against a piece of paper which creates the bokeh background. Illuminated by 2 flashes, one for the background one for the lines/paddles. The tricky part was to get the reflections on the glass under control.

This is very unique and very beautiful. I love the colors in the background and I absolutely love how you make the seeds look like music notes. Great job!
