Dandelions

Hey everyone - I'd like some input on this photo:

If you read the info I posted with it, you will get an idea of what I was trying to do. Would appreciate it if anyone could give me some ideas on how to better achieve that.

If possible, I'd prefer comments to be left there so that I may easier refer back to them later.

Thanks :)

Clarity is my main concern, focus and color seem off...did a flash fire late after motion? maybe too much light to catch a blur from the blowing?

Um... I really don't know... :oops:

I will have to try different lightings...

thanks :)

I don't have a problem with the late flash, which indeed is what it looks like. I'm more worried by the background. too distracting (again, for me). If only you had been able to get either sunlit grass or shadow only. ...

i actually like the effect the late flash has had - clarity isn't all THAT important as far as I'm concerned; I like abstract images, like this one.

As for the background, I think it works well as it is. If the background was entirely shadow I feel the frame would be too dark but as it simply acts as a background to the dandelion this isn't a problem.

Thanks everyone for the input and tips :)
I am SO a newbie to this macro stuff. ;-)
