Pay no attention to the guys who object to the noise in th background. This is an exceptional variation on the dandilion shot. Very nice.

I loved this the first time I saw it but I failed to comment. The softness of the focus with the single seed floating away is just stunning. The background couldn't be more perfect of a backdrop for the white. The green adds a nice bit of punch as well. 8

Excellent capture - composition reinforces the independence of the lone seed. Good use of DOF. This is really quite good and I expect it will do well. Nice job!
