 Trying to see the beauty in this relentless enemy. A double exposure using the reflection method. Fluffy dandelion was the main subject, and yellow flower dandelion was the reflected image.

Fluffy dandelion illuminated with a small white LED, focusing on the upper half. Yellow dandelion illuminated with a standard flashlight to give good color.

Adjustments to contrast, brightness, color balance, and sharpness using Nikon Capture NX2. Hairline border added using Canvas X.

Subtle. This is the type of idea that requires a lot of takes. Yet, it still looks pleasing.

Good idea but too bad the yellow dandelion shifted

Like the use of colour (color) against the black bacground. Pity the yellow flower is blurred / moved.

I really like the merging of the 2 colors, and the light on each side.

I like the idea, but the composition is off. Also, your dandelion appears to have been is both exposures?

The colors and light are beautiful but I'm not quite sure what I'm looking at?
