Kashi, I didn't vote on this challenge, but having seen this photo in a recent forum thread I had to leave a comment. I think it absolutely delightful and perfectly epitomises those long, hot summer days of childhood. really lovely.

Do you like buttter?

I do - and the buttercup chin test works, too! Good focus, not over-sharpened, pleasing colours, and good detail in the texture.

Just shows how subjective our appreciation of art and photography is - for me, it is the negative space that gives the photo the impact. It somehow reinforces the fragility of the single seed head, almost as a metaphor for the fragility of life in general, and to emphasise the minuteness of an individual life in terms of the wider universe. On a technical note, I might prefer a very slightly wider dof, so that the front of the dandelion head is also in focus, but nonetheless, I like this piece very much.

This is just beautiful - a real fairy-tale wonderland.

Have you thought about using this for Christmas cards this year? It may have been taken in the height of summer, but it does have that Christmas feel!
