Bill,
What a shot! Simple yet a classical. I hope you are planning to frame and hang it on the wall.

As an experiment I thought I'd try a fisheye lens with the camera on the ground underneath the tomato plants in the garden. The lowest orange grape tomatoes were only 3" from the lens - my fisheye won't focus that close but it certainly made them grow! Sun overhead so very much backlit and it was dark under the tomatoes so a fair bit of shadow boosting and highlight zapping was needed to bring out the detail.
Tony,
Glad you tried your fisheye lens. What a shot! I love it. One to hang on the wall for sure!

Looking up through a dandelion: Wendy,
Great interpretation of this theme! This is indeed a beautiful shot!
I am surprised you were able to capture dandelions forming seed heads at this time of the year. All I can find now are their green leaves.
BTW, welcome to the Weekly Photo Challenge! Looking forward to seeing more of your participation. If you haven't done so yet, please check What is the Weekly Photo Challenge? for more information on this challenge.

Hi, If it wasn't for this challenge I would probably of passed by these goldfinches on a telephone line above my head: Mark,
Glad you captured them! Interesting post-processing. However, I would love to see the shot without any "special effect".
Hi Sepiana, Here it is:  |

Mark,
Thanks! Oh, yes! Great composition! I love the simplicity of this shot and the slight diagonal slant of the wire (cable?).

This afternoon in my backyard, I looked up and spied a mother on her nest.  |
