a gret and clearly "out of the box" entry to the flower photo contest; good framing with sharp focus and good exposure for the white parachutes;

Im a sucker for milkweed and this is a very nice image. I love the fuzzy soft web-look. You have framed this well. I would trim just a hair off the top to eliminate the bit of sky showing but that is just personal preference. Great job.

Thank you. Couldn't crop it any more than it is. Would have lost the top of the web

This is a wonderful shot of the milkweed. You have framed it well. They look like a spray from a garden hose! Light and sharpness are very effective in creating a lovely capture. Thanks for sharing!

A very good looking nature shot posted here! Your fine and appropriated composition offers us a good view of your seeding plant. Like the delicacy of the web. Nicely done!

I like the milkweed at this stage as it has gone to seed. You have photographed it well with good focus, this image is clear, exposure is correct, I see flood detail in the wispy white seed.
Well composed allowing a good sense of this location.
Well presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!

Comment from Brenda Curley
This is a creative composition.
The milkweed here ignites the imagination. It does look
like a web! Someone said to
me that they look like miniature parachutes propelled by the wind.
They also remind me of stars or feathers. I love they way they float into the air.
The background adds to this photo but, does not interfere with it. You never know when you will see something wonderful while being out on a walk.
All you have to do is look.
Nice shot.

if i said that to a woman she would fly away like these seeds...lolol. the clarity is great. the capture of the light is great. the angle of the shot of these seed flying away is great. the image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall.

A very nice shot. The milkweed seeds in their gossamer parachutes are well shown against the soft background. I would crop off that white area along the top though.
