Quite mesmerizing and beautiful. Hard to believe it is a simple weed.

Thanks Katherine, Helen, Denise, and Zahid for your comments, very much appreciated! Zahid, I usually have an abundance of Dandelions in my yard during the Spring, but it was actually hard finding one around here in August :-) This one was found in my neighbors outdoor garden container. I was afraid to move it so I had him hold a black cloth under it while I took several shots (used a tripod and the timer). This close-up was the only one I ended up keeping. Lightened and sharpened in Photoshop.

Nice shot, bottles! Tell me you found the seeds as ther are or you had to collect and arrange them to get this strong composition!

Wonderful image, bottles. I knew this was yours the moment I saw it. I agree with Helen, it does look like fireworks!

Great shot, Bottles. Almost reminds me of fireworks! Helen

Nice composition - I love how the wispy white dandelion seeds fill up the frame and the stem can barely be seen behind them!
