I was messing around with my new camera

^_^ Pretty! Did you know those are good to eat? (well, not like that, but when they're still yellow. The leaves are great for salad, apparently)

Nice. I like it. Especially how the background is all nice and indistinct, so it doesn't distract us.

thank you : D

yes I did know that lol, I read "Little House on the Prairie" and made "dandelion salads for a week. I never actually ate them though

Ooh. Looking at this again, I might maybe suggest trying to center your dandelion a bit more. But that's it.

This is pretty good. I'm glad it isn't another "flower", per se. I'm so over flowers haha. I like the detail, though...pretty good.

Though, I would suggest centering it...get the whole thing in it to begin with. But, if you can't, then crop it so it's even in the middle.

I took some kinda like that when my dad got a new camera. I like it! Its perfectly in focus and the detail looks really nice.

I think you shouldn't have cut off the very bottom part... But I guess you can't change that now.

Good job!

Very pretty ^^ I agree with previous comments about centering, and it looks like you've cut a very little bit off the bottom, so there isn't the whole sphere. That's me just being picky.

But good work. I'm kinda jelaous, we don't see meny dandilions around here, and the ones that are have always had a good few seeds knocked off.

I like this, it's all fulll. There are no seeds gone (in view)

Pretty. That's all I can really think of to say.

This is very nice! I like (as Via said) that it isn't just another "flower picture" of pretty, colorful flowers covered in dew. (not that those can't be beautiful; they're just a bit... cliche?) I like the fact that the dandelion is gray, not yellow and that the background is brown rather than bright green.

However, I agree with the other reviewers, though, that it would have been nice if you could have had the whole flower in the picture. Although I don't agree that it has to be centered--it doesn't. It could be very compositionally interesting if it's off-center.

Hope this helps!

You are such a showoff. *pouts*

Anyway, this is a nice photo! It'd be better if you took it into Photoshop or something and played with the background -- it's kind of distracting from the picture, especially that thing in the lower right hand corner -- and, I dunno, made the dandelion more of a focus? Heh. I don't know. I know nothing about photography, except that it works.

But hey! I like this picture. It's niiiiiiice. Haha. Dandelions are fascinating little flowers. Did you blow on this one after you finished? =P

Much love, as much as you show off. =P

I went around blowing off all the seeds of the ones in my yard

Did you know that most dandelions are clones?

I was unaware that most dandelions are clones... thanks... I guess.

It's quite excellent. As someone above me already said, I might try centering it in the frame a little more, but it works. It's very enchantingly beautiful. I like dandelions, anyway, so XD.

Two thumbs up.

Hi stockmar,


Crop the right side a bit so it is centered. I like this picture, because how close you got the shot, you can see so many little details, and even inside the dandelion!


I like it better than most of the flower pictures I see.
