Dandelion

[Stan]

We usually either shoot these as an open head or as a clock. I thought i would try something different and shoot one before it opens. There were quite a number of them on the holiday nature reserve. Shot at f8 with my 300 f4 + 1.4x

Re: Dandelion

Thanks Les and Ray

Only thing I am not totally sure about is the composition / angle - whether it would be better more upright
