Little Dandelion

I'm doing pretty well for a self-confessed disliker of flower photography. We really need to come up with a word for that. I was determined to effect the hell out of this one. Experimentation is a great thing, except when it comes to bad things. Goes without saying. I've seen photographs like this in magazines before. So now I know how it's done. If you find this image on my Flickr account and view it really large, the top of the Dandelion looks really amazing. It's like a whole other world up there. I was even tempted to crop it and zoom in, but I'll leave it as is for now.
I think I'll keep experimenting with this sort of thing, and post my methods when I do. This image comes with the acoustic version of Dandelion by Audioslave, sung by Chris Cornell live at Shepherds Bush Empire on 2nd March 2009. A gig I attended and luckily someone recorded it and you can listen to this live recording on blip. Ahhh, the memories.
