This is the last Dandelion seed head I could find in my yard last week. I set the white balance to cloudy to get a warmer look to the image. These Dandelions that manage to grow in my lawn are very small. The head and stem you see in this image is only about 1" in height. To get the low perspective, I mounted my camera on the bottom of the tripod's center column, upside down.*****************************

Superb macro composition. Fantastically beautiful matching colors between Dandelion and the background. Geat use of DOF, sharpness and details. Most wonderful lighting. Outstanding work Ronnie....Best regards Harry
