Bill, Nice rendition of a very interesting subject. Good handling of the flash with nice soft light. I like the 5 yellow areas that greatly adds to the interest within the image. Sharp detail with a pleasing backround. Very nicely presented!

Thanks, Al, Dave, Julie! Dave, I thought the 5 yellow areas added interest as well, and that was my primary reason for choosing this seed pod to shoot. regards~Bill

Other than a some area at the top looks a bit soft, probably due to DOF, sharp and interesting image overall !

William,

This is very artistic and scientific as presented. Love your vision on this one. Earth tone colors are extremely well captured here.

Thanks for sharing...
