DANDELION DELIGHT

Went chasing a big Bumble Bee for a while today, but decided upon a more static object for todays shot.

[Daryl O'Hare]

I chased a bumble bee for 4 days with very little success. Love the focus, color and the lowkey (I think) effect in the background. Dandy!

[Lisa Stein]

Great shot! Love the burst of yellow!

[Elisabeth Sæter]

So pretty!

This is a great capture! I actually left a flowering dandelion when weeding last week incase I needed a photo subject! Guess that proves 365 has taken over my life lol

[Kate Goring]

Beautiful shot Mark, the colour is wonderful. Until starting this project I had zero love for dandelions. And now, I can't get over how much beauty I have been missing.

Beautiful pop!

[Diana]

This is a really lovely shot. I did not know that they have white/yellow petals.

[Julie Bailey]

Nice shot, just catching up on viewing photos today, did not realise you had posed a dandelion, I also posted one today.

[Mark Prince]

@colie haha no idea how it did that, I was on my iPad which has got spell check on it !!!!

[Mark Prince]

@diananorfolk Thank you Diana, well spotted, I will let you into a little secret, they don't have white bits, it's something the camera did. It was a pig to focus because all I could see was bright yellow and the auto focus was no better. So I played with the settings and got it to focus but it put white bits at the edges. Interesting effect but not natural.

[Diana]

@markp I like it. Its a great result

[Alan Sapalaran]

Delightful indeed! Well done!

[colie (Nichole Stewart)]

@seafilam72 Thank you very much Alan

[Julie Ryan]

very pretty, I haven't seen one with the white in it

[Mark Prince]

@julie Thank you Julie, no I have not seen one either, the white was put there by the camera. I had played with the settings to help me focus against the yellow and the white appeared as a nice surprise.
