Classic subject. I'm going to hunt for it myself I think but we're not there yet in the season. Very nice composition. The field of depth is the shortest I've seen in some time... ^_^ It results in a nice effect I think. Nice to see some new shots from you. I've been watching your gallery during my brief visits here but I guess you have been as busy as me lately. ;) I really like your photos, you have an excellent eye for good subjects, so I hope you get some time over to shoot more and submit some more of your stuff.

Cheers. :)

Thanx Klas, Joost & glooh : {D glad u like it, i have been taking lotsa pics but have had n urge to edit them but no time to edit, hence the low rate of uploads....& also have been suffering from caedes withdrawal symptoms. but having said that the reason i took a time out was coz i was spending far too much time on this, i nearly burnt out. so like urself Klas I'm going to take it easy but try to maintain a few uploads. : ) thanx again folks

Great Macro, Avi. The clarity is amazing. I particularly like the framing of the dandelion. Well done.

Fabulous work, Avi...and just in the nick of time, too. I've been suffering monkeypuzzle withdrawal symptoms lately and this post of yours has given me at least a temporary fix. :)

This is just beautiful. I love the stillness and serenity you get out of capturing nature up close, you can almost feel the dandilion just by looking at it. This is one of the most perfect photos.....10/10 in my favs.

Excellant, clean shot you got yourself here. It has so much detail and love the way you captured only half the dandelion. This is a spectacular image. Great shot.

A marvelous capture. Interesting artistic take on a simple dandelion. It feels so close that I almost sneezed :) Great detail on all those whisps of the dandelion.Well framed on the blurred green background-very natural. You have a good eye! Thanks Avi :*>
