Dandelion

[Krishna Prasad kotti]

I made this image in my Home. Simple Subject, I was doing my lawn and saw this image.

Since Dandelion is considered a weed, plucked, and remove it. Placed it again some other flowers.

Some one once told me, "a weed is a wild flower in the wrong place", sounds pretty accurate eh? I like the flower head and the colours look really pleasing too. The stem could be toned down a little to make it appear less obvious, but a very appealing image.

Nice image> agree with Jonathan on toning down the stem. very attractive flowers. Could be a good subject for stacking.

This is a stacked image (7 Shots).

I did tone down the stem.

A lovely shot of this overlooked flower. Or weed as most people consider it. Maybe just a touch tight all around. The stacking worked very well.

Love both versions, esp. the red in the BKGR.
