Ethereal

A little inspired by a shot I saw on a thread about dandelions here on 365.
Dandelions have to be my favourite still life subject. They are so versatile.
Oh my, this is fantastic! Stunning shot, fav!

@summerfield @amandal instead of editing a dandelion out, i just took another photo for Theme Four

Thank you for giving some tips on how you got the background! How did you get the background to reflect in the water? What container do you use white, black, plastic, glass)? Do you add any additive to the water?
September 19th, 2013  
@mijade the colour is reflected because of the angle. container is just a white plate. no additive in the water
i sometimes use mirror as well
September 19th, 2013  
@abhijit Wonderful, thanks a lot :-) I'm gonna try again with your advice!!!
