Great shot. Looks like taken at eye level. Great. How do you critique a good shot except say "Good shot" and then give it a 9. Hard to comment. PTL I really like this. Glad you didn't sneeze or even breath until after taking it. My 2 year old grandson loves to blow them
challenge -- met technical -- early morning (or late afternoon for that matter) light is called golden for a reason, isn't it. beautiful lighting. sharpness and focus are also good. composition -- there are two ways you can go with this one ... include all of the dandilion (which you almost did, but you cropped it on the left!) or make the crop look deliberate and include only part of it. this way it looks a little accidental, but still nice. -- gr8photos.
Nice job! I like the focus and lighting. You may have inporved the composition slightly by either moving in closer or letting the entire plant in the photo. DPz
nice lighting and depth of field. i might have had the camera pointing a little more down to exclude the stuff at the top and include more of the green at the botton, and centered the puff.
