About Sometimes I wonder... what gives us the right to call such a beauty a 'weed'...
In my book this dandelion blow is a real star... ;-D!!!

it's very beautiful macro shot.
perfect B&W.
Cheers...

This is excellent great details the B&W gives it so much definition.
A weed is a flower that grows in the wrong place. It's strange we equate weed with ugliness, this proves that way of thinking is all wrong.
Well done Petal.

Shimmering beauty! I agree, Petal...such lovliness in a 'backyard pest.' Gorgeous capture.

Wonderful DOF and highlights. I love the way the sharpness of the little "stars" contrasts with the softness of the main background "star".

AJ

PS. Did you see my www.usefilm.com/image/849056.html ? Similar image but your DOF is FAR better!

Hi Petal,

good one for the project! I like the near high key look here. millions of stars caged into a flower. I mean, this IS flower power at its' best ;-)

good BW conversion as well.

best wishes,
Thilo

fantastic Iris shot
well done,,

Ah one of my favourite weeds Petal :-)

This is an excellent crisp and clear shot of the dandelion seed head - one of the best I've seen for a while! Good conversion to black and white too!

Thanks for the comment on Paths too - and you are right the path does 'twist' to the right at the top. If you look at the wall on the right you can see how steeply inclined it is too, hence the reason for the raised bricks...

Beautiful macro of this wildflower, it looks fabulous in these mono tones Petal. We have a wildflower section in our front garden where they are encouraged to grow. Best wishes to you my dear....Ray

Excellent capture Petal, love the patterns to this. Who would've thought something so common could look so nice. Wonderfully shot macro with great clarity, nice work!


Hanggan Situmorang   {K:37824} 11/30/2005
Superb pattern and composition, Petal. Very nicely seen. Love the soft BW tone, as well. Congratulations!

A sparkling shot, Petal!!!
Excellent sharpness and detail.
But I think you're the real star!
Best regards, Chris
