another image of dandelions

[Valerio Tarone]

shot in 2009. NikonD 300 70mm macro f3.5 1/125 ISo200 WB auto
I can't remember the P.P., but certainly sharpness, a bit of redcolor, curves and levels Lce as S-shaped (brighting the small branches ) to get more balancing.
C&C wellcome!

Hello Valerio,

I like the image very much. I like the composition and colors. I would clone out those two particles (one in the upper right corner, and the other one more to the left from the first one.

HI Valerio.....I like this image alot....I like the soft colors and repeating shapes....evict the particles!

[Julie Kenward]

Lovely image, Valerio! I'd also add a touch of sharpening to the stems and base of each "flower" and then let the rest of the image carry the soft feel through.

I like this, but I think Jules made a good suggestion. The stronger color and shapes at the bottom really help to ground the image. Nice job.

Thanks to all, TomisllavDenis, Bob.
Julie, first thank you, I appreciate your tips. Do you agree my mood has improved? if so it 's merit to BPN, also in selecting the good images. The image will go to International garden photography of the year.

Hi Valerio, this is a very nice soft focus image...all that's missing is one small area of sharper focus so following Jules' advice will definitely improve this. :S3:

Ken, Hi
Yes, I've done it. Thanks to all.
