    Hi Adrian - thats mother nature for ya :)
    I might have stopped down some more - shutter speed to burn at 1/800th would have swapped some for some more DOF.
    Feels a tad tight on the RHS.
    Love those water drops on the hairy looking bit.

    I agree with Lance, when imaging a still object like this DoF is important. The shutter/aperture trade-off would have benefited the picture. On balance, a good image. Unique and colorful, thanks for sharing.

    Beautiful and interesting image. It is a Milkweed seed, it is the host plant for the Monarch butterfly, they laid their eggs in the plant and the caterpillars ate the leaves...

    Hi Adrian,
    I like the capture...nice texture and details...agree with Mr. Peters on it being a tad on the tight side...would add more canvas to the right side, also the whites are a tad hot, lacking details......and thank you Lady Mirenchu for the explanitation...looking forward to the next one Adrian...:cool:

    I would have stopped down, more, but in a windy day and so close to the subject...
    It is tight because I wanted the whole fruit in the frame and also wanted as many details I could get!
    Thank you very much for your comment!

    Thank you Gus! In the higher resolution image, there are a few more details in the whites, but they were like silk and highly reflective in the sun light...
