I'm pleased with this photo because it looks so much like a pencil/charcoal sketch but it's pretty close to straight from the camera. Achieved by backlighting a Dandelion seed head with bounced sunlight... The lens is a 90mm macro with +14 additions and the only way to focus with all that glass is to move the camera. So it's another 'outdoor studio' set-up...

Thanks indrasish ![]()
The problem with getting something clear in the background is depth of field... there is very little when things get as close as this. Plus I wanted a lot of the seeds st remain soft to give a dreamy look rather than a botanical record of a dandelion...
