I think the lighting looks really cool in this the way the seeds are backlit, but there is nothing in sharp focus and I find the wires distracting.

I really like the sun behind the dandelion, creates a neat effect. The power lines and off-center composition distract from that however. Good idea though.

Too bad you couldn't get the wires out of the shot. Great iridescent glow to the dandelion seeds.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Cool contrast between dandelion and power lions. Would have like even sharper focus on the former.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 12:29:58 PM
me too, but a little more light under the dandelion would have been good too
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I'm sure you've been told this is OOF and the telephone lines are destracting. The lightin is off also.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 06:42:55 AM
Focus and detail are lacking a bit in this rather uninspiring image. I don't really understand how this can be your best photo ever taken and hidden gem.
03/15/2009 01:44:55 AM
Nice POV and backlighting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 11:57:30 PM
bit OOF
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 08:29:44 PM
Great use of light above the dandelion! I wish the power lines weren't there!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 05:26:39 PM
The light coming through the seeds is pretty cool but I find the background really distracting, sorry.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 03:37:46 PM
Sweet. I think the telephone lines are distracting tho.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 01:11:40 PM
cool how the sun illuminates the flower
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 10:25:08 AM
Good pov but the wires are distracting.

03/14/2009 10:05:01 AM
distracting elements ....
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 08:58:53 AM
Did you make a wish?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 06:39:20 AM
I like this. There's a nice visual link from the sphere shape created by the dandelion to the telephone pole.

The dandelion's easily floatable seeds often represent freedom, and here it additionally encompasses 'natural' freedom.

Impressive. I actually took a pic with a very similar theme when I first got my camera, but it's forever gone.

I feel like if I blow on this, something real will happen. 10

Very nice commentary - enjoying the rather surrealistic glow of a common dandelion amidst the humdrum sphere of powerlines.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 11:29:17 AM
...and *I* believe you've escaped from reality into a parallel universe. Are you happy there? Did you bring your meds? Over here in the real World we wish you well, and some of us even envy you, albeit secretly :-)
03/13/2009 11:15:36 AM
nice use of perspective, but the power lines distract
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 10:59:54 AM
I find the power lines a distraction unfortunately
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 10:13:49 AM
Good subject, but too much junk in the photo. All those wires & the pole need to go.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 09:44:39 AM
Nice light in the dandelion. I like the PoV.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 09:18:13 AM
nice glowing effect
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 07:04:09 AM
Awesome back light effect. Needs to be sharper.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 01:22:38 AM
Strong composition but weak focus.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 08:13:19 PM
creative idea but not so well done
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 07:05:35 PM
This is the perfect perspective to capture a flower or plant but there it to much light and to much distraction in the background. Good on you for the perspective tho!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 04:37:59 PM
bizarre!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 03:09:38 PM
great angle, but the background is very distracting
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 02:21:30 PM
Nice compositionally, the colors are decent, but the noise is a bit distracting
03/12/2009 12:01:54 PM
I like the idea & I think it was done relatively well, I find the wires & poles in the background distracting though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 11:01:29 AM
Ok, I was going to write some platitudes but whats the point. I do kinda like it, but that might be only for the daring of it, who knows..
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 02:24:41 AM
right...a unique interpretation of this subject for sure
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 10:27:00 PM
Interesting choice of background. I am totally intrigued by this - a dandelion would suggest a country setting - and we see power lines behind it. I really like that daring choice. Very cool.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 06:34:38 PM
Difficult shot. A couple of things. First, the wires in the background, while they do frame the subject, are really more of a distraction here. Second, I would like if possible to see more detail (focus/ sharpness) on the seed parts of the flower. The stem is in clear focus but the top seems blury. The fluffs are pretty soft so it is a bit hard to be dure. I definately like you putting the sun behind it.

looks like one of those swing rides at the fair
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 05:27:12 PM
Good focus on the dandelion, and in using the light to bring detail to it. Unfortunate that the electrical lines are in the background.

For your strong sense of humor...7

Those wires are very distracting.

:) I like it! Best use of powerlines I've seen for a while.

03/11/2009 01:07:55 AM
the background is distrcating

lacks sharpness
