Ethereal! Looks like it just now blew away. I always want to know how big the art work is. This is a beautiful piece. I hope you frame it. ---

Nice touch on the clock seeds floating away ….it implies movement to the viewer. A little more tonal shading on the peanut on the right perhaps in keeping with where the light is coming from as per your clock. Very atmospheric though 🙂 ---

Hi Queeny107 - OMG I LOVE THIS. It has the feel of a watercolor painting and the background is wonderful. I was just out a couple days ago taking some macro photos of dandelions and you’ve got the details down perfectly. Thought you’d like to see one of my photos (but it wasn’t blowing in the wind). Thanks for sharing. Terri Robichon ![Macro dandelion](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/2X/d/d353e8042d752c87155d68bd790cd900ddf76b17.jpeg) ---

Queeny! What a wonderful job on this dandelion. It’s about time someone showed some love to this lovely plant. You did an amazing job on translating the softness and ethereal quality of the seeds. Thanks for sharing. Keep them coming. Patricia. ---

Thank you Patricia, Dandelions have a special place for my…they are bees first food of the season and the beauty of being able to take flight after you’ve completed one mission to go to the next is just amazing.😊 ---
