I wanted to try out a back-lit dandelion shot, and it wasn't until I looked through the lens that I realized there was a party going on.

Emily - Nice shot even with or without the party. The Dandelion strands look as if they are ice flakes photographed at close distance.

Very creative, Emily - I like the perspective you've taken ! Strange how the dandelions look so icy in this light.

What an interesting look at this dandelion against a very low sun. The party is a fine addition and the "fluff" looks great. I wonder if you'd get the same (or a similar) effect in the fluff if you let the base of the head block the sun. That might avoid the blown area.

Thanks much Ian and Mark! And I was wishing just that Mark, that I would've let the center of the dandelion block the sun. Next time!
