Beautiful shot, love the stray seed and the hint of one about to fly off at the bottom. There seems to be so many this year, I think you may be the only one I know happy about that :)
I looked around me today, and we seem to have jumped to the after scene so suddenly. lovely specimens for both your before and after pairing. And I like your composition and concept.
Beautiful contrast between the two stages of life. My husband is on a mission to kill when it comes to dandelions, that said they are in abundance within the neighborhood, I still want to capture that perfect shot!
this is beautiful---powerful image and a ststment to sill in the blanks for the viewer to puzzle
