Dandelion

best large - this is the beginning of my love affair with dandelions - until yesterday they were just a weed that had to be dug out -

[Carol W]

Wow! I can see why you are in love! Wonderful treatment and that white is superb. Gorgeous. Fav.

[Jocasta]

@sturnus thanks, Carol

[Sean O'Neill]

Beautifully done Jocasta, an incredible high key.

[Jocasta]

@stimuloog so glad we did a swap - thank you - you've even made me brave enough to enter the "get-pushed challenge"

[Siobhán]

wow 0 love the white on white!

[jayn]

stunning image! never seen a dandelion look quite like this...

[Penny Price]

Beautiful. Love it. FAV

[Jocasta]

@jaynspain Thanks, Jane. I brought dandelions at all stages inside to photograph - this one was closed but over the next half hour it started to open into a clock - so ,just half way there

[Jocasta]

@pennyp Thanks, Penny.

[Linda]

I would never have thought of putting a dandelion on white Jocasta - what a great idea. Like this very much.

[Humphrey Hippo]

Love the high key. This reminds me of fireworks.

[Sue Rose]

Beautiful Jocasta. They look like tiny little feather dusters. Great idea to shoot it in high key - it's worked really well.

[Marloes]

Great macro, Jocasta! FAVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
I love your creativity here. Great shades of grey and white. Like the greens too. The fluffyness is also well captured, as waving feathers, reaching out to a get pushed challenge! I love the lack of contrast too. Wow. Give me more, give me more!!! :)

[Jani M]

a creative take on a dandy, fav for me!

[Jocasta]

@stimuloog I really love your macro flower work so this is a huge compliment for me - thank you - it took me quite a long time to take the dandelion photo - it made me realise how difficult your great macro photography is

[Stevie]

Pretty!

[Kate Goring]

Wow, this is incredible. Wonderful processing. Fav.

[Kate Goring]

I have really enjoyed looking through your photos; you are so talented. For your get-pushed challenge this week, I would like to see a shot that expresses joy and/or happiness. Let me know what you think.

[Jocasta]

@masosy Thanks -great challenge - but a tough one - know a couple of people with newish babies - they're pretty joyful at the moment.

[Kate Goring]

@jocasta It certainly doesn't have to be of a person, if that helps. You can interpret it however you like! If you would prefer, I could come up with a different challenge, no problem at all.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

This is beautiful! And so true- often maligned because they are a pest, dandelions really do have a lovely sort of beauty to them that gets overlooked.

[SarahP]

Wonderful composition and good luck with your challenge from Kate this week. I'm not brave enough to join in anything like this yet! :-))

[Cheri M.]

Wow! This is beautiful and so creative!

[wrenlewis]

Oh lovely -so delicate. Well done

[Marloes]

Congrats to the PP! Dandelions... :)

[Paula W]

I've seen lots of really great dandelion shots but this is bar far the most original, wonderful pov. Fav.

[Lisa]

Beautifully done - an original take on the dandy shot! : )

[Paul "Snapchap" Everest]

Nice shot! It works well.

[Jean]

This is gorgeous. Love the white on white. How do you do this? Is it with processing? I don't know a lot about editing so it may seem like a foolish question. Fav

[Elaine]

Looks like a firework, great on the white. A fav.

[Meg]

Love the white on white
