The last seeds of this Taraxacum are leaving.
Last weeks we didn't have much time for the forum. We hope to have some new photos to post and some more time to comment in the future.

Comments and suggestions are more than wellcome.

Good to see you posting again.
Nice find of this partially bare seed head. The drops add interest and bg is clean.

Love the comp in this you guys, the texture and the subject isolation. I might sharpen the head just a touch more but nothing else to suggest. A very fine image for my tastes.

Love this, Daniel and Loana ! Just so beautifully photographed - with superb detail, especially in the droplets which bring out for me the feel of an early Spring morning.

Lovely and original composition. You added another level of interest by shooting in the wet conditions. Are those falling water drops in the LLC?

Ciao D&L,
interesting subject, beautiful background and droplets. I agree with Pat about sharpening a bit more the head. Well seen and well composed.

Thank you all for the very kind comments.
@Wayne: those drops were on a very small spider's web on the flower.

This is really nice. Quite unusual looking. Love how the thin web with the two drops anchors the flower to the stem.
