After some research, I see that my Fluff Ball (Taraxacum officinale) has another common name "Blowball". So, "Blown Away" seems to be an even more appropriate title.

This is a great image. Incredible capture of the single spore. Hats off umbro10.

Whaoo! This is great timing... talk about the decisive moment. And you've cropped it to perfection with a great balance. Excellent

Thank you. Since you're wondering, I didn't place the lone blown spore by using pp. I was lucky to capture it using continuous drive mode. Besides, I'm really not nearly good enough in pp to place such a delicate thin object in the photo.

Very nice realisation. Simply excellent... And great timing (or creative use of PP?)

Hi Umbro. This shot is going on my short list of entries to get four points. I love it.
