[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Taraxacum officinale, commonly called Dandelion, is a herbaceous perennial plant of the family Asteraceae (Compositae). It can be found growing in temperate regions of the world, in lawns, on roadsides, on disturbed banks and shores of water ways, and other areas with moist soils. T. officinale is considered a weedy species, especially in lawns and along roadsides, but it is sometimes used as a medical herb and in food preparation. As a nearly cosmopolitan weed, Dandelion is best known for its yellow flower heads, that turn into round balls of silver tufted fruits, that blow away on the wind.

Hi Ferran. Very well taken with fine detail and sharp focusing on the seed head. Your use of the light has given fine detail and natural colours. Good use of the light well taken TFS.

Hello Ferran,
A fine capture of a Dandelion seed head taken with fine sharpness and DOF and the composition with the loose seeds and the neutral BG is excellent to make it an attractive image.
Thanks and best wishes,
Ivan

Bonjour Ferran,
Très beau et si léger..et des couleurs de grande finesse. Une image à la luminosité très belle. Charmant aussi le petit parachute qui prend son envol. Bien vu!
Meilleures salutations

bellissima composizione. Il tarassaco è ritratto in modo davvero sensazionale nel momento in cui il vento lo accarezza portando via i semi che sospesi in aria danno veramente quel senso di movimento che rende una foto davvero particolare. I dettagli e la messa a fuoco sono eccellenti come pure la gestione della luce. Un gran bel lavoro.

A beautiful subject in fine balance regarding static and moving parts Ferran, in good focus and exposure against a pleasantly fuzzy BG. I think the white balance is a little off, tried to correct it in my WS with a little contrast increase, I hope you will approve the result my friend.
Cheers,
Mehmet

Hi Ferran,
