Dancing Dandies

In spite of pulling out dozens of dandelions when they put up their bright yellow flower, this one managed to hide itself under a big rose. It must have been pretty ripe because when I nudged it with my camera, these fell out! They gathered together in a group hoping not to be swept away in the wind! Most of them had ballet shoes on, ready to dance to any tune! And they did!

You have such a creative way of describing things. It is so artistic. Beautiful shot, Maggiemae.

I love the way you've made these stand out so clearly against the dark background - looks especially good viewed large. Fav.

[Terry]

now that is tooooooooooo cool

[Maggiemae]

@happypat @happypat You are the only one who thought about this as ballerinas! I thought about pointed toes and was so pleased that you picked up on that!

[Maggiemae]

@yonnie That black background came from my underexposing the photo and then increasing the contrast . I'm a fraud!

[❀ Lynn]

Great shot! Not a fraud...a smart processer! I like the outcome...and I like your analogy of the ballet dancer...pointed toes and tutus (or whatever you call those skirts).

[Maggiemae]

@lynnb exactly, Lynn!

[Lisa]

FAVE, love what you did with this!
