Love it...instant fave, especially because it works so well as a monotone, the focus and contrast are just right, and the fence adds interest and context...without it, this would be just another dandelion shot.

incredible detail. I don't mind the fence, it gives a kind of size reference.

Thanks! I was very pleased with it...you're right the fence does give reference! I really didn't have any choice...the fence was there!

I like the fence in the background - it gives some more structure (or something like that)

I am not good in "photographer" language - I just can tell you what I like and what not
The coloring you've chosen is perfectly fitting as well

Great job done

The background color was the color of the sky (which was why the fence was there in the first place!) I was shooting toward where the sun was going down

Personally I don't find it too distracting...if it wasn't blurred, then maybe it would be..but, like this..it's a great shot...as is. well done!

Technically you did a great job, but I have to weigh in with catiekabob on composition. Maybe if you cropped in closer? regards...

kayaksailor In reply to RCPage [2008-01-18 03:45:59 +0000 UTC]

I'm not sure I understand...I know the word genre but there's 'catagory' for dandilions?

RCPage In reply to kayaksailor [2008-01-18 04:09:19 +0000 UTC]

No I don't think there is a category for shots of dandilions, but I have seen shots of them for years and yours is among the best technically. Your caught a perfect specimen and got it in perfect focus! regards...
