Spot of sun
Just a dandelion. They look exactly the same in Denmark as they do in the US. There's somewhat a message about "sameness" in that.

They look the same here too Julianne, but they are such attractive little flowers and make great subjects to photograph.

Very nice shot Julieanne. It's a shame that the center of the flower is slightly blurred. My guess is that you've taken this picture hand-held, and the blur derives from camerashake or possibly the front of the lense being too close for the camera to focus properly. The petals to the left af a bit more crisp and sharp than the in the center and to the right. Maybe you have focussed on the petals to the left without noticing it. Macro-shots are very difficult shots to take, and though many camera's have "macro-setting", it caŽn take some patience and special equipment, as top-of-the-range macro lenses and or a devoted flas for macro-shot to get it completely sharp. When shooting macro, one should always use a tripod, even if the camera in use is a "pocket-camera", as I've said before, when giving critique to other pictures.. although we don't realize it or notice it.. we all shake our hands slightly , and the camera, is a delicate piece of equipment that registers everything even the slightest movement. When shooting macro-shots one should also try to shield the motif from wind that also creates blurred an unsharp pictures, due to the movement of the motif in the wind.
