I think monochrome suits the subject better than the colour version does!
Just trying to get across the softness of the Dandelion and I'm glad it wasn't any windier the other day or all would have been for nought

That's a great shot Si - I agree about the B&W, makes it really striking...

To me it looks a bit like a long-exposure shot of a firework going off in the sky! Nice photo!
