The dandelions themselves they are :evil2:

As for the photo, that's a different story ;)

I like this capture. I find it interesting seeing the plant "wedged in" with the stark cement wall. It has a man vs nature thing going on. There's something that is a little off for me but I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe it's the way the dandelions sort of peter out of frame to the right. Maybe it's the fact that there are too many stems going in different directions which keep pulling my eye around the frame. A tighter crop may have worked better here. Hope you don't mind but I tried one as an example.

Welcome Anastasia!

Iggy is bang on here. For me it's the stems going in different directions. Iggy's crop works on this shot or a tighter crop of this shot would likely work better.

Welcome Ana. I too thought I had seen this name somewhere else on the forum. Numbers do not lie though. Anyways, I like the thought going on in this image. I like Iggs crop on this but I also think this is what I would have preferred to have seen. Its really rough PP work but it gives the idea.

Realize in photography there are an infinite number of possibilities for one subject and no two images will never be the same. If this subject intrigues you that much. Keep shooting it until you get it right. It makes for the best practice.

Hi Ana! Welcome! As you can see one picture can tell a 100 stories depending on how you capture it. This is a great learning forum with some really great people willing to share their ideas and we look forward to seeing/hearing yours. :)
