Much maligned yet quite pretty

Even more so surrounded by forget-me-not



As usual C & C welcomed.

Nice effort.

A tricky exposure but that has worked. Just one thought. Near the top there is an old flower head, which hasn't turned to seed yet. I would have preferred to see more space between it and the frame edge; or alternatively crop it out altogether. Also top left corner.

On reflection, I think I might have removed all the old stems before shooting to obtain a less cluttered scene ?

Thank you for your comments Ole, Nandakumar, John and Geoff.
Geoff,
Your suggestions would bring the picture more in line with my usual approach which is to visually separate the main subject from its background. With this photo, I wanted to make the background an integral part of the picture to show that the flowers are in their natural environment and to emphasize the contrast betweem the organised structure of the dandelion heads and the messy background.
Thanks for your comments.

I wish I could "see" like so many here. The shot is so classic, ordinary objects grouped in such a way as to emphasize their place in the world and yet with a beauty all their own. Lovely shot!

Thank you Ted. This is the nicest compliment that I have ever received on one of my photos. You made my day
