This was the first Dandelion to appear in our yard several days ago. While many others have now popped up this one had gone to seed and the light breeze has carried away nearly all of the seeds except for a remaining few.
I took this image as an experiment with a 2X teleconverter mounted on the Nikon 200mm f4 macro lens. Although the combination provided a 2X image it was very difficult to hold a manual focus as the subject would dance about in the viewfinder from simply breathing or my heartbeat. I could stop breathing and let my heart stop which would solve the problem however I think it would just create another problem so I took it off.
That is nice, a different view from the normal one which is also interesting and pretty.

One of the reasons I am using more flash.
Over winter I experimented. And bought. I am beating my shakes.I get about a one passable shot for three. A good per ten.
This wind or not.
I again use the word 'superlative' for your work.
Lots of insect activity.

i prefer to shoot dandelions with most of the seeds gone,good shot!
👍 The geometric patterns found in flower heads are always interesting.
I'm not a golfer however this looks like a golf ball to me.
Good decision and good image!
