Taken using my cheapo macro extension lens in my garden at home. Cropped, levels and curves, applied crosshatch filter and smartsharpen, added stroke frame - all in photoshop.

I really wanted to come up with a different subject for macro, but ran out of time this weekend. I know dandelion heads are hardly original, but I like the soft vignette effect my lens created with this shot, so thought I would go with it and see if others like it too.
