Your dandy is a dandy, Ed.  The details in the bloom show up very well.  The background adds to the sense of a mini explosion happening.

Great close up of this dandy, Ed.  And B&W really does work well for this image, showing the texture nicely.

Ed, I have a similar close up dandelion photo I'd taken with one of my first 35mm cameras many years ago now. This gave me an immediate flashback to that era. The detail is excellent here. Thanks for sharing this delicate B&W version......laugh

I like the feather-like details in the large view.
