    Sehr schönes Grundmotiv und ein stark wirkendes i-Tüpfelchen, mit der kleinen Blumen und der knappen Schärfe.

    The dandelion looks like the big brother of the fragile looking Herb-Robert (never heard that name before)
    Excellent sharpness on that small blossom.

    Excellent focus, such sharpness and brilliant colour in this tiny blossom - just saw a lot of them yesterday - all mixed in with dandelions. We seem to have sooooo many dandelions this year!
    greetings, Adele

    Great detail in this little flower Mark. It is amazing how the light reflects on those fine hairs already magnified buy your lens. Well captured

    Ich mag sie gerne die wilden Storchschnabelarten mit ihren zarten Blüten, gut auch der Größenvergleich mit dem Löwenzahn!
