Huw, yes, it does work, telling the story of dandelions aging and at the same time providing a sense of how much dandelions like the sun. I am thinking that I’d like the oof “sun” a bit further into the upper left as I find the darkness in that corner a bit distraction. Some dodging up there might work also.
This absolutely works Huw - in fact, this is awesome! And kudos to GrandDad for getting down on the ground… Heck, this GrandDad has a hard enough time getting out of the patio chair…
What a great nature story - and backstory. I’ve seen my share of Dandilions, but never really inspected them, nor seen such a juxtaposition between the very old and the very young. Greatly invisioned and crafted.
I love the original as presented, but the revision has its merits too.
I’ve been there and done that! Really good POV and the shallow DOF is great for my tastes. I think I prefer the original although my first impression on both is that the youngster (aren’t they all this way) is grabbing a little too much attention. Perhaps a tiny softening/desaturation would put him in his place. OTOH, grandad looks pretty darn good despite his advancing age. >=))>
