Nearly time for Little Yellow Flowers again-

    What more can I say-
    bring on the summer-

    Edit-

    I’ve just been back to this one,
    and noticed I’d uploaded a .png for some reason-

    anyway, this one is closer to the print-

    Immaculate composition and love dof – splendid isolation
    of the subject. Would I change anything, hmm, perhaps
    a tiny boost in contrast just to give it a little zing…
    Gorgeous simple image.

    Nice. Better than many other yellow flower shots.
    No EXIF data that I can see – I trust it’s from this year
    and that you’re not trying to
    pull a fast one?!

    Thanks Rob,
    I see what you’re saying about the contrast,
    it is there on the print,
    but its in the detail,
    and doesn’t come across well here-

    As Usual.

    One of the joys of photography,
    for me at least,
    is the isolation of small areas of detail-
    and until we all have monitors the size of the wall,
    the only way that is going to come across is by using the 100% crop.

    There are other joys, of course-

    Here’s a little detail at at least 100%,
    I’ve enlarged this one to print at A3+

    This was taken on the 18-200,
    only adequate for this range really-

    Edit-

    Pete, just seen your post-

    No, not from this year, last-

    Haven’t seen any around yet,
    but its really not the kind of thing that gets reported-
    First dandelion of the season-

    Just thought I’d get a sly fast one in-

    Thanks for the comment
    (interrogation)

    :D

    Yes. I had a feeling it was Sonchus arvensis which doesn’t flower till about July or August.

    The blobs on the hairs are a giveaway. http://plants.irishbogs.com/photo.php?photo_id=31

    You’ll have to get up earlier my boy :)

    Cool shot Pete,
    much more macro-ey (not in dictionary)
    than mine-

    Good link too-
    and thanks for the taxonomy,
    I’ll never forget that its a perennial cow thingy-
