Great idea! Would add some vig and maybe a bit softer light. Love the details.

Dandelions are great plants to play around with for different ideas with comp, POV, focus, etc. I like your POV looking straight down into the top of a dandelion seedhead. I also like the way the in-focus fluff frames this image. Nice comp too with the center not being completely centered.

Holly, I really like this comp and the natural design you captured. Even the thumbnail looked interesting. I do like this as is, but think I'd prefer the center to be sharper. However, I would imagine that, absent stacking, any pov or fstop that would brought the center more into focus may have cluttered the bg.
