 I meant to use another flower for this shot but didn't have one at hand. I had only one of these and originally i wanted to get the seeds in mid air. I took this shot before I attempted to blow away the seeds, which didn't work as I had hoped.

Too bad I forgot to change my ISO before taking the shot.

Nice capture with the dandelion but the lens flare detracts.

Even though technically would be room for improvement the composition and point of view is very strong. Good luck

Th dandelion itself is quite luminous - I like that it is sunbathing

A bit shame that the lense picked up the obvious flare, and unnatural colors around the flower - due to the sun.
