    Dandy Lions II

    A little gaussian blur and linear light on the layer. Gary may not like it but gosh dang it, it's a weed!

    Dee...I like all three of your dandelion shots...but I really love the vibrance of color in this one against the dark background. Very nice!

    Looks like a sunburst, or a mini-explosion, or a sunflower. And yes, the black background is an excellant background for it.

    I normally would say the focus needs to be sharper, but not having it really sharp is hhwat helps make this image for me. I like what you did with the blur and the black bg just helps pop the yellow colors. It has a very artsy print type feel to it. Very good work.
