Halcyon007, 2 months ago

This is just beautiful with a capital B. The detail and light on the dandelion are just superb. The gorgeous yellows and orange really bring it too life. I like the way the light’s been used to even highlight the hairs on the stem.

The soft focusing of the background give enough away about the surroundings while the main focus point stays with the dandelion.

Basia McAuley in reply to Halcyon007’s comment, 2 months ago

Thank you so much Stuart for taking the time to comment on this image, I’m very appreciative of that!!!
