These pictures were taken in a very dark room with my D3000, Tripod and Tamron 90mm Macro lens. I picked the best looking dandelion I could find in my garden and used an LED torch to provide the lighting. Although a dandelion at first glance looks quite ordinary I think these photos prove otherwise. By the way, no dandelions were killed or injured during the production of these photographs.
