The last dandelion... C&C please?

[G. Ike]

Hey guys,
Saw a dandelion and grabbed a shot. I was just looking for some comments and constructive criticism on this photo. Any input is appreciated! Thanks in advance,

George

the colors really pop in this image! maybe you should think about cropping out the foreground a little? its a little too distracting IMO
otherwise, great shot!

Thanks for the feedback!

i agree crop out some of the foreground. but other than that im digging the dof. nice shot

Give some definition to the front grass for perspective. Don't fuzz it out so much and then crop. Cool shot.

The DOF was done in camera with a 300mm focal length, so I can't add any definition, but I can crop it. Thanks for all the comments, guys!

the dof is the strong part of this image imo. nice one.

nice shot, a bit blown out in the actual dandelion though...

I actually blew the highlights on purpose. I thought the pure white worked in this case, and was a nice contrast from the green background. Thanks again for all the feedback guys :thumbup:

The DOF is not post production though, which is one of the reasons I liked this image so much.
