It's amazing the beauty we find in ordinary things when looking through the lens of a camera. I would have never guessed this would be a dandelion! You did a magnificent job in highlighting the beauty of something tend to like, you say, hate! Fabulous!

Hi Annie,

It's sad in a way that the dandelion IS a weed! I think it is a lovely flower, to bad it's SO prolific! Love the angle you shot this from it shows off the flower beautifully.Wonderful lighting and depth!

VERY COOL SHOT! :o) Helvi

I had no idea the dandelion could be so beautiful! I will never see this the same again! This is absolutely spectacular, and the details are so so very sharp. It is always amazing how often through the macro lens in the hands of a good photographer we are introduced to things before unseen or unknown. Thank you for sharing!

I enjoyed the sharp, distinct details inside the dandelion flower by focused point shot. The crystal golden clarity was beautiful.
But, for those with allergy problems...may not be so nice.
No work needed.

This is a wonderful capture. It's so full of energy and brightness. Great detail and well framed. The leaves are good in salads and the root is used for medicinal teas. A week, yes, but a beneficial one that is often overlooked for its good qualities.

Since I was kid I have always loved to see Dandelions when the spring comes each year. Your macro of a Dandelion is just lovely. Thanks for sharing.

Great viewing of a Dandelion's inside. Great us of macro lens. Gives viewers the sight of detailed sharpness that can be further examined.

    Thank you very much for the review. I wonder what it was you did not like about this photo. Must admit I was a bit surprised to get 4 1/2, but that is Ok as long as I know the reason.
