First of all, the lovely portrait..... nice eye contact and focusing is spot on.
Being really 'picky' ...I do find the background a little cluttered, I think it would have been better if the wall had been used as a backdrop which would have contrasted nicely with her face....but that's being 'really picky'
The Dandelion head: Nicely done and I do like the soft effect on the seed heads.

Really love the Dandelion shot . Clever use of softness, and the two almost 'starburst' seeds on the lhs really balance the whole image.

The dandelion is great Maria, beautifully executed. Also, I would like to add that the general standard of your processing is outstanding, both for its artistic and its technical quality. Your black and white conversions are so well judged and I think the skill you show in your processing is at least as important in your images as your camera work, which is also superb.
I wait with bated breath for 3, 4 and 5!

Great idea, expertly processed Maria. The dandelion image has a dreamy, surreal feel to it which I find very appealing.

Delicate, but not so keen on this one. I think the arrangements of the various flowers could be a bit tidier and could perhaps flow better in a different configuration.
The principle is good though and it's an idea worth progressing further.
