Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! Love the blue, the texture and the subject and composition...exceptional image! Did you apply any PS...just curious about the blue tint and the texture?

Thanks Sherri and Debbie! No PS work except tone curve and sharpening. I took that in the deep shade outside and that is what my auto WB came up with. I changed it to shade after the first couple of shots and got a more nature green color, but I actually liked the blue tint better of the two!

Super Shot! I really like the non-traditional perspective you have chosen for this subject. Color good, texture and lighting, ditto!

Thanks Heather...hmmm...I'll have to keep in mind the auto white balance...I agree, the blue has an etherial quality to it.

Hi Heather,
Your photo simply took my breath away.
It was so creative and imaginative on your part. I liked how you used your macro lens to shoot underneath the dandelions. Thanks for the lesson!

I, also, have a macro lens photo called
"Rose Milky Way" which is on page 20/21--flower category. I would appreciate your opinion of this photo. And, if you have time, I would invite to look at my photos on my website:joyfulphotosbylaz.com
Thanks,
Lou Lazerson

Heather- this is probably one of my favorite captures I've seen this year. It should be picture of the month and a winner in whatever contest you enter. You have such the eye for a great composition- I've learned much by watching your work! -G
