Default Quick, before the kid gets it
My grandson and I were out in the yard late this morning when we saw these puffy dandelions. I was trying to shoot with one hand as I kept him away with the other, (He's almost two years old) so the framing isn't quite as precise as I might like. However I'm fairly pleased with the results. I haven't done very much macro work with this rig so it's all a learning experience. All comments and/or suggestions are welcome

Very nice dof on this shot. My biggest problem with this shot is the composition. The dandelions are very touching the edge of the image. Kids make things difficult sometimes, don't they!
