Description
"It gives one a sudden start in going down a barren, stony street, to see upon a narrow strip of grass, just within the iron fence, the radiant dandelion, shining in the grass, like a spark dropped from the sun."Henry Ward Beecher

sweet with all the tiny water drops, I sense a green touch in the dandelion which I would try to fix. The depth of field is quite perfect yet it might have looked good with some sharpness on the tip of it but it's reallly hard to tell. Still it's a Great picture! I think I might actually fav this.

and this is simply nuts! amazing shot! i love the composition and the focus especially, how the end of the dandelion is blurry and the droplets and fuzzies are all so clear. did you find it like that or did you spray it with some mist thing? i think the is a beautiful shot,

Oh I had to cheat and use a water spray - we will probably never find a dandelion with that many dew drops naturally

Wow, it looks like a group of snowflakes bundled up together on a plant. Probably it could have been more touching if the whole foreground was in focus. Keep it up!

Thanks so much, yeah quite a few people want the foreground to be in focus, but my camera couldn't seem to do it!

Amazing detail and interesting choice for depth of field. Although I do wish the center of the plant was in focus.

Thanks so much Lewis, you're definitely right, I tried to get the middle in focus but it was a dull day and the focus and exposure wasn't working properly on my camera. If my camera did manage to focus on the middle of the dandelion, you probably wouldn't have seen the water drops very well though.

Yeah that's how it goes. I take it upping the ISO didn't allow you to use a smaller aperture?

Nope, unfortunately my camera is all automated, I can't choose the ISO or manual focus so I have to compensate
