Just a stunning set of Macro's Mike and yes I would quite happily have some of these on my wall. The detail on pictures two & three are stunning, I especially like the reflection in the water droplet on number three. I wonder if my Tamron would produce anything as sharp? I'm off to find a dandelion to find out.

Good stuff Graham .. soft and dreamy where mine were quite hard.
I was quite happily surprised by the result however it was the hard and sharp that I was aiming for. I really liked the poster art style you managed.

There was I thinking I'd seen everything there was to see in the world of dandelions!
Excellent shots all. Such variety and sharpness.

I had a play with some dandelions the other day, but never though of spraying them with water. I may have to steal this idea Mike
oh wait .. that's what I did
