Here’s a dandelion shot which was taken last week,,,, not really sure if I totally like it so I thought I’d put it out there to see what you think.. Personally It reminds me slightly of my Fire Fairy with it’s composition and I don’t like repeating my self,,,just not sure..

    Beautiful Basia, I’m glad you’ve finally put it up. I love it in B & W and I also see you have a bit of a sequel going on with the title : ) very clever!!!!!

  • Nacho Garcés

    The centered squared composition works very well with the defocused lights imprinting some kind of asymmetry. And B&W here works nicely. I like it a lot!
