When I was a Kid.......

Interesting bronze statue but trying to find something I like about the picture. No pop, looks flat. Light cast on kids head, flash or sun? Distracting background store window makes me want to window shop and forget it was a phone challenge especially since the phone unit is out of focus or appears to be because of light reflection shining off it. Didn't even notice the phone in the kids hand at first. Looks like the other is having trouble hitting the coin slot. Was this taken in shadows or at night?

Dandy Morning

Takes a minute to appreciate(can be a good thing, surprise). Off the bat, out of focus then it forces you to look for focus and you find the leaf below. You notice the stem and draw up to the lower blue tip green in the dandy. Then a look at the dandies brown center. Pretty cool! Surrounded by the white shell it takes on an otherworldly appeal. Nice softness to the interior white then a sharpness on the exterior white like an atmosphere or a protective shell. That said, too much of nothing above the dandy. Dull grass blade blur I would have traded for more dandy, two thirds not half. Maybe if the blade was not so blurred and a little greener or more blades...but what do I know. Makes me want to buy a macro!
