This fluffy dandelion was a fun find on our mini park walk. I wish the dandelion image showed more vividly against the background. But the sun was at its brightest this afternoon and this feathery dandelion blended into its surroundings.
I messed around with different filters to get a more focused image, but they either washed it out or made it too orange-y. Vignette filter looked the best, probably because of its dark edges.
This is the cartoon and vignette filter. You can see the full, fluffy outline of the dandelion. I was determined to show its perfect sphere.
Thank you Cee for hosting this challenge! Have a great start to the weekend.

Thank you! It’s similar to what you did with the Begonia picture.
Isn’t that dandelion huge?! I wish I had hairspray with me that day to freeze it just as it was. My kids and I did an experiment once like that and it held for a week. Only the stem withered. But that would be weird carrying hairspray on a nature walk.
Have a great weekend and nice to meet you!!
