You certainly can;t stare at it for too long

That said I like it. There's been quite a flurry of dandelion shots recently (I'm assuming it is one) and this is certainly a different take on the subject. The processing certainly works.

Thanks Peter.
Yes it's definitely a dandy. With the mix of sun and (constant) rain, we've had some HUGE seed heads this year.

Believe it or not we've got some in vases in the house! My OH (*Sarah*) wanted to take some shots on the theme of flight for her 52 and picked them before we had the really big downpours. The actually look quite nice on the mantle piece :LOL:

That's OK....I've got daisies in an egg cup!

I'd LOVE to capture some of the dandy seeds in flight after a good puff, but so far no joy....all too blurry

certainly does mess with ones eyes

Like your idea of trying to capture fly away seed head, never thought of trying that

....

...daisies in a egg cup would make a nice triptych

That's exactly what Sarah was after. I was in charge of the blowing :LOL:

There's three shots from her 52 on this link or here on the macro section

Great effect and idea, you've framed this perfectly. Very nice Ruth :clap:

Make sure you don't sneeze near them, you will have them growing out of your carpet for the next few years :LOL:
