Way down inside...
Posted By: gjtoth, 04-29-2013, 09:40 AM

...a dandelion. I thought I'd give the Sigma 105mm with Raynox DCR-250 a workout on a dandelion head.

Of all the dandelion shots that I have seen, I have never seen one as close as the first one. Not only interesting but lovely to look at.

Saw the thread title and thought Led Zeppelin... "way down inside, I'm gonna give you my love", don't worry, it's just an age thing.

The first image is a great shot, something different with a dandelion and lets be honest that can't be an easy thing to do, as we've all done it or had a go at it.

Well done.

Thanks very much. The first is my framer, too.

Glad to be of service in planting the earworm.

Many thanks to all. #1 is my favorite of the lot, too. I'm thinking of having it printed at 16x20 for the wall.
