Virtual 6 OMG - that is more then just a good reaction -it is beyond reaction as these kind of nature situations are not calculable and you took it in a more then perfect way - fantastic capture - I specially love the camera settings with the speed of the wind effect - also the division of the flower in calm and windy is unusual
excellent in sharpness, contrast and lighting are perfect too
I love the blurry background as it supports so much the wind
Fantastic composition, well framed , perfect in all aspects with a great initial impact , well done again

Lovely capture as the wind forces the milkweed to give up its seed to create a new batch of plants in the future. Lighting and bokeh are great with good focus.

What an excellent image. I can "feel" my wish coming true.
Great detail. Nice Action portrayal.
Clear and detailed.
A fun image for sure. I associate this with my childhood blowing the milkweed seeds into the wind and making all my dreams come true. Thank you for reminding me of a fond memory.

Lovely photo,I love it when the milkweed pods open, their seeds spilling out, waiting to catch a breeze and fly off. The background colors nicely repeat those found in the pod and seeds,and I like the glint of sun on the silk. Good sense of motion seen and captured. A pretty fall image!

What a wonderful stop action shot Grace. The focus is sharp and detailed. The whites are well rendered. The one seed in the wind is really a show stopper. Perfectly set in the frame. Great work here Grace ~ Steve

Comment from David Ruhl


This is SO cool! The focus is very sharp and clear, even on that piece in motion that is blowing away. The other fibers blowing in the breeze add a great sense of motion to the whole image. Great shot!

Oh envision you have captured a beautiful milkweed. They are one of my very favorite fall subjects and you have done a fantabulous job! The fluff of the fibers blowing in the wind give this such life! You have marvelous colors in the background. Exceptional job!! My fave!

Excellent sharpness and focus on details of the seeds, enhanced by the nicely blurred background. Really cool that you captured the milkweed blowing away! Love the natural brown and white colors, very soft.

Comment from Charlie Newman


Very nicely and sharply focused with well defined details. The stop action of the windblown milkweed is an excellent capture and is a stand out feature of the photo. The neutral monotone and softened background is well handled to showcase the milkweed. Very good eye and very good capture Grace.
