Dandelion Studies
Lumix LX5
We went for a walk at the reservoir in our neighborhood around sunset time. I turned around to look at the setting sun, and I saw some dandelions glowing from the sunset light, so I decided to try out the close focusing capability of the LX5. I took the four shots below.
Which one do you like best, and why?

the bottom one...it is most evident what is the subject...prefer the colour...top 2 hurt my eyes (bright top of both images)
I am with Joe, the bottom one defines the subject and has the best range of colors. #3 the focus might be a tad soft, #2 the subject is a bit too close to gain a perspective of the subject, and #1 the contrast is too much taking away from the subject. Nice camera Warren.

I'll take #3 because it tells me a story. The bottom is too focused and #1 and #2 the light is intense. I agree with Dan that #3 is soft, but it leads me to the story of the one trying to over come lawn mowers and the masses to survive. The bottom focuses more clearly on the subject, but I am left with what was the purpose of the shot.

Hi Warren, I like the 3rd one a lot. I guess the background adds some context to the flower.
A nice series images, I do like #4of shot too,because it's through the sunset light to look the Dandelion more clearly and lovely. Nice camera.

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for all your great comments! I love it when our blog gets a spurt of activity. It makes me happy :)
The sequence of these four pictures are as I took them. In the first and second pictures, I was literally trying the macro focusing capability of the LX5 for the first time. After I got those out of the way, I then started thinking more about the composition, as most of you agree that #3 and #4 are your favorites. I personally like #3 because it shows the dandelion in a field of green (in context). But I also like the sunset glow and subject isolation in #4.
