Dandelion heads are so difficult to photograph with wide apertures, but you've used the shallow DOF to your advantage in this (dare I say it?) very artsy macro shot. Good work. --Mary Anne

This is beautiful Mikey, so delicate! It's too bad they are the bane of my existence right now Great lens, of course the operator knows where and how to shoot with it! :-) CJ

Thanks for all the kind words, folks. For this shot, I esp. wanted to isolate the seeds, so the large aperture was a must. For the others, not so much. A bit more DOF for them would have helped, I think. Thanks again, -mikey

I like the inner macro of the dandy. Soft and sharp at the same time.

Rod I was thinking the small DOF added a dreamy look so I would have to see one on a smaller F stop to see wot Tommy is thinking.

My favourite too - and a good way of putting different perspectives to one subject - lets see if I can come up with something new - Debi

I think this works the best but I think a smaller aperture would enhance it. -tv

Rod This one is really nice & a bit different. Nicely done a.

Love it. And I think I'd love it in black and white too. Penny STreet

It was a close call between all three but this is my favorite. Soft and shard at the same time. You've portrayed this weed as a flower and did it well. -Doug
