 This is such a treat! Thank you again for all the votes, comments, and critique. I do read all of them and take them to heart. I don't think I would have ribboned at all if not for all the commenters. I really do learn a lot from them.

Thanks again! DPC rocks!

amazing, one of my favs in this challenge!!
 07/14/2007 12:11:24 PM
Good lighting and focus. Composition a bit too centred for my tastes, could maybe have had the dandelion closer to the bottom right corner.

Perfect bokeh and I'm at a loss for the patience you must have had to execute this amazing shot. B/W treatment really helps this work. Well done.
