Abstract Dandelion Head

With no macro lens as yet I wanted to see what the D7000 and 18-

100mm could produce.

Roger, is nice to see you open your account here at p/n with a flower image. we see so many of these over the course of the year that they have to be pretty special for me to even open them up. this is just very nice, interesting composition, your focal point is just really lovely, and the outer softness finishes off a really nicely constructed image. well done! a macro lens is great when working with flowers but is by no means mandatory. also welcome to p/n, a place where it's never to late to have a happy childhood!
