These are beautiful. Your artistic vision and eye are consistently amazing. You pickup superb images where most see nothing. I admit that yesterday I saw some dandelion seed heads in my yard and rather than get my camera I got my weed whacker.
#1, 5, and 6 are my favorites from a superb set of images.

Dave, next time, pick the seed head, bring it inside, spray with some water and have some fun with the camera
Thanks so much for the kind words.

the first one is off the charts, Roberta. 6 and 8 are awesome as well.
Glad you like them KD. Hope you are not too busy this time of year.

Hi Birdie...
I always click on your postings to see what's new from birds to butterflies to refractions to other interesting critters. This post is no exception to your usual attention to detail.
I agree with KD that #1 is beyond exceptional...what an eye you have and talent to match.
Thanks
Tom
Tom, thank you so much. I guess we all shoot what is available to us. Like your wonderful birds with those gorgeous perches.

Birdie,
Super set, but #1 is just a crazy eyecatcher. It pulled me off the front page in a hurry.
Such VIBRANCE! Jumps off the screen - would love to see it printed on metal.
Only nit would be the little dark areas on the topmost edge.
Jeff
Thanks so much Jeff. Will definitely see what darkening the yellow corner does

Birdie,
Lovely images.
Thank you Harold.
Watch out for Cinnabar moths hanging around (resting on vegetation) for up to a week or two before the Ragwort flower buds start to open.

Love, love, love your first (dandelion seed) image! You have a really great eye, Birdie, and I would like to borrow it someday - if that's okay with you!

Wonderful series, Birdie! You present us with a dazzling array of colors. Each photo is worthy of display in a museum of modern art. Very difficult to select a favorite, but I'm partial to the Dandelion.
Gene
Gene, such very kind words, thank you so much.

I'm convinced you could replace that Sony (and former Olympus) with an Instamatic and still give us a visual treat.
So well done, Birdie!
Fred, you are so nice to me, thank you.

Love the set Birdie
#1 has me playing a little with the comp to get less centered from top to bottom but the image content and color is simply outstanding!
Excellent detail and color in 2 and 3
#4 the left stem is a bit overpowering for me on this tiny delicate subject
#5 is wonderful
#6 just seems a bit flat on light range
#7 very clean and pure, a wee bit more contrast on the hover might be worth a look
#8 lovely comp, great feel I like it
It would be very easy to say these are all outstanding, nits only because I know you will put them to use
Karl, I do sincerely appreciate your thoughts . I am definitely going to give all of your suggestions a try. Please don't ever stop giving me your opinions.
