Saw this dandelion during my trip to Sunol wilderness. I like the way one seed is trying to come of, but hanging in. Very little processing, levels, curves, image resize, ans sharpening.

What a lovely and detailed image. It is well presented with an elegant background that set off the seeds beautifully. And it earned a very nice score for this very nice entry.
While I would have loved to have seen even more of a close-up to enjoy the detail of those seeds, you may not have had the pixels, and besides the presentation you did was just fine.
I see nothing more to critique here, so I'd better move on to the next image in the queue. But I will look forward to seeing others of your images.
Almost there. Could've either increased the shutter speed to stop any minute movement, or stopped down one notch to increase the DOF slightly. The dandelion seed head seems just slightly soft. Perhaps a minor levels adjustment to bring up the contrast some. I do like the bg bokeh. Good luck.
