Marsha, the lighting and exposure, the angles and composition of these shots are remarkable! I love the first two and I like the transition from soft colors to stark black & white! Beautiful set! djnana · 2010-09-13: 10:45

Just gorgeous! I use to tell my kids that dandelions were star flowers and when you blew on them they would fly to heaven and become the stars at night. :-) susjustjake · 2010-09-13: 10:49

These are fantastic - I always think dandelions make such wonderful macro subjects. :-) girafferacing · 2010-09-13: 10:58
