Dandelion Puffin'

Yesterday a friend asked me if I could take a picture for him to use as the background of a concert poster. His band is playing a show this weekend and apparently were a little late to the game in getting their poster made. I didn't have anything else going on the in the evening, so I did my best to oblige his request. He wanted a picture with lips blowing a dandelion, which turns out is a lot more difficult to pull of than I initially thought it would be. Who knew that getting dandelion seeds to detach from the stem is way frickin' harder than it appears! I managed to get a couple pictures that I like decently well and sent them over to him, so we'll see what he ends up using.

In the second shot I ended up cloning a bunch of seeds so that there were a few more in the air. I realized it doesn't look great, but I'm not very proficient in Photoshop, didn't want to spend too much time on it, and he had requested additional seeds, so there they are. Let me know what you think! If you think it looks terrible I'd love to know.
