Love the processing Steven. V moody & dramatic

Christian Vetter, about 1 year ago

Nice Marco mate. I love the action the seeds starting to fly away. It really makes this picture special for me. It reminds me all those times I would pick one and blow the seeds off or walk past one and kick it or slap my friends in the head with them so they get covered in seeds. Oh wait I just did that yesterday. haha. Good times.

Sorry where was I? Oh yeah. Great shot and nice selection of Greyscale too. Gives it almost a memory like or olden days feel about it.

Anisha Aiyappa, 4 months ago

interesting narrative – do you really believe that?

Steven Sandner in reply to Anisha Aiyappa’s comment, 4 months ago

hmmm, well it definitely makes something more special – i guess some things will always remain beautiful, if you love someone for example; youll always see them as beautiful?

Anisha Aiyappa, 4 months ago

i think thats what i believe. i agree that some beautiful things are just not made to be permanent in this world, and some beautiful notions are too advanced for this time, but defintely some beauty can remain eternally. that dandelion clock will come back again;)

Dennis Gay IPA, 3 months ago

G’day Steven,

I find this image to be very compelling. I have come back to it time and again.
A very simple subject yet your processing and presentation have made it dramatic and thought provoking.
The subject is adequately sharp for such a mood shot, there is a good bokeh, the tonal range is very good and the contrast most pleasing.
Great work that man!
