Flower in Seed

We were hiking in the valley of five lakes in Banff National Park when we came across this flower in seed. I really like the image, but I would like to get some more input.

Richard:
Its fun shooting dandelion. The intricate architecture is really interesting. As for this image, it appears a bit dark and may benefit for some increase in exposure or fill light.

Nicely done Richard. I agree it's a tad dark but should be able to brighten easily. I would try to boost the "white" in your level control if available. I find this to be a very tough shot to pull off and have it look nice when I've tried, this one is probably one of the nicest I've seen. Well done.

Nice details and interesting composition. As others have said, it's very dark. Nicely done otherwise.

Liked the way the soft hairs are spreading outwards. Well seen and captured.
