Got my vote. You made something extraordinary out of this simple sight, and that makes this image meaningful. I love how you've shown the seeds, and different textures are so prominent. Well framed and well captured.

    Wow - where in MN will you be?
    Might be a tad cold!!

    We usually stay in Plymouth. I still have two sisters there. And another two sisters in St. Michael, Rogers. It should be cold. Are you still in Brooklyn Center? I used to live there. Stay warm !

    Your welcome
Comment from Dick Lee Shia


A visual delight with dynamic silky fibers about to blown by the wind.
Frozen aesthetically between time and space.

An artistic rendition. Monochromatic colors save for the cottony bloom!

Subtle illumination.
Sharply focused.
Nice letterbox framing.

Excellent details & features. Impressive setting & textures. Thanks for sharing...

This is a really nice exposure. The lighting is superb. The detail in the seeds ready to depart is absolutely excellent. The background makes everything stand out to perfection. Well done, Grace.

A gorgeous shot of the milkweed. I love the way the light is shinning on those intricate silk fibers and seeds. Very well photographed with sharp focus and great perspective. Beautiful natural lighting and incredible details and clarity in your image. Your diffused background compliments your photography. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing.

Grace,
A beautiful picture of the exploding seed pod of the Silkweed the light showing off the iridescence of the silky filaments attached to the seeds to help them float in the breeze to new ground where they can germinate & grow. Beautiful artistic composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

Comment from Sange


I love these seed pods with their wispy silky hairs and tiny seeds.
Excellent focus, fine DOF and Superb control on white balance shooting in the bright sun.
Fine work behind your "Tonka" lens Greenie! ;)
