Dandelion.
I wanted to get the whole sequence from bud to seed head. Had to use  a black backdrop as the  white seeds didn't show too well.

6 Stacks CZM
100 ISO 60th sec @f5
BG tidied up a tad.
Slight crop.
Levels/Curves  in Paint Shop pro

John,

Awesome portrayal of the life cycle of the dandelion. Yellows are pretty bright, but within reason.  Good job on this one..................Jim
