This is my first try at a dandelion / seedhead, so I'm not expecting much. I am pleased with the colors, bokeh and DOF. The compositon could be a bit stronger. I hope the voters will identify with the "leaving the nest" emotive. We shall see!

Congrats on the wonderful score for such a nice image. Very well conceived and a stunning capture. Love the blue background which compliments the subject very well.
congratulations on an amazing and gorgeous image and a 25th place in the free study ... WOW .... that certainly makes up for the dq on your totally incredible pelican on the post ...... I HOPE!!!!! ..
no Catherine, the composition couldn't be stronger ;P
I thought about Ursula, too, when I first saw it. brilliant photo, that blue color is so very deep!
A truly excellent piece of work, Catherine! The color and detail is exquisite; the shimmering haze of the seedhead behind is such that it just draws so much more attention to the one breaking free. Underrated IMNSHO
Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning. It's day two now and I'm running late, sorry.
