The centre of this dandelion seems well in focus and you can see many of the individual bristles. The composition is good too and I love the blurred background.

A good looking nature image posted here together with fascinating notes too! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of that pretty dandelion. Textures, colours and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely done!

This is gorgeous, Bob! I've always liked dandelions at this stage. Time to make some wishes.
You captured this in perfect lighting. Great exposure, balance and intrigue. Love it!

Thanks for your review and rating Jewell. I haven't done a lot in this venue but I have some other ideas for this subject that might be fun... Bob

Comment from Charlotte Morse
A great shot of this dandelion seed head Bob, those three escaping seeds are absolutely pin sharp!
I like the placement in the frame, and the two doors (?) in the background giving blocks of blurred red and blue set it off so well.
The whole is well focused, with a good dof and a perfect exposure.
A lovely shot, thanks for sharing.
Charlotte

Hi Charlotte.. Not barn doors but two towels hanging on the line. That's what I love about a deep background bokeh it contributes to the whole buy adding a little mystery to the scene.

Thank you for the fine review and rating ... Bob

Ahh yes, that makes sense - intentionally hung there as a backdrop or did you just forget to get the washing in? Lol
You?re very welcome Bob.

Hi Brian.. Beauty is where you find it. Trouble is in recognizing it when you've found it.

Hi Bob, Nice shot of this dandelion! You have good focus on those little parachute seeds, especially the three loose ones on the top. Nice lighting too! Love the circular seeds in the center. Dandelion puffs are always a fun subject and you captured a nice one! :o) Nancy
