Angela Stewart
It’s strange how a feeling of peace washed over me as I look at this. Among my busy family life, solitude is a rare and precious thing…this image reminds me of how I long to escape the crowd sometimes and be by myself!
Basia McAuley in reply to Angela Stewart’s comment
Ohh, I know how you feel! I also long for that feeling! Thanks Angela :o)

Miron Abramovici
Very cool, strange, minimalistic, and eye-catching!
What was the original you are refering to?
Basia McAuley in reply to Miron Abramovici’s comment
Thanks Miron, I’ve seen other photographers trying to capture that one or two seed on a dandelion so I wasn’t taking the credit for the originality side but I must say, I like mine! ha-ha! ;o)

Nice image….I like the texture in the dandelyons head….it reminds me of the ballerina music box my sister had when she was small….the seed being the ballerina on her tip-toes.

Peter Horsman
Ha! I was looking at doing one of these as well after my son blew all but one off. I’d even planned to call it “Last Man Standing” – all I needed to do was take the shot.
And then I saw your wonderful shot here and realised that mine would be a waste of time compared to it.
So thanks for saving me some time, Basia ;o) Really fantastic capture
