Now that's a view of a dandelion that I don't think I've seen before. I doubt I would have been able to guess what this is.

Fantastic macro work, Thomas!

[Paul Lagasi]

Wow..now thats close, very sharp, nicely done

[Julie Kenward]

I'm with Ken...first thing I thought was "Now THERE'S a view I've never seen before!!! Bonus points for Thomas for going 2:1! That really looks like something from outer space. Way to think outside the box, Thomas!

I never tire of these intimate looks at our natural world. Well done.

[Roman Kurywczak]

hey Thomas,
this does have an other worldly feel to it! Great technique and handled extremely well with a great deal of originality!

[Thomas Herou]

Big thanks for the comments!

Keep coming back to this one Thomas. I like the darker colours and feel. Defintiely alien and original POV. Did you do any plucking, or was this natural.

Wonderful view of a Dandelion. Like others, this one is new to me. I like the super macro view, and the wonderful details. My eye keeps going to the light area of the Dandelion--the round part, while I want to focus on the radiating parts, which are more interesting to me. You encourag me to try to get in really close.
