Running through dandelions is probably my favourite spring activity. I love how they are so soft and huggable, yet very light. It's beautiful how the seeds fly through the air, carried by the white fluffyness to grow somewhere else.

Well, enjoy!

First off I absolutely LOVE the angle of this shot. I'm all for originality and uniqueness in photography photos, which also includes the "what in the hell is this!" shots to (which I do a lot).

Usually all I have been seeing lately is the basic full view or birds eye view of what i think is a dandelion blooming seeds right?? You did a side view which is great so kudos on that.

Possibly if the picture (more the background) was a tad bit darker, but not to much and a little contrast would bring it out more instead of the background clashing with the main objective in the picture. We all have our own way of shooting and editing pictures (if you even edit them threw a program). I myself edit or touch up 99% of my photography shots, so you could have a completely different feel on editing with contrast or darkening/lightening tools than I do. Depends on the eye of the beholder!

Over all, I rated this really good considering I'm a hard critic. Good job
