When I first saw these 4 seeds, hanging on for dear life, I knew there was a photo in there somewhere...Image processed using Topaz Spicify, I like the blue tone that it added...thanks for looking..............

There sure was a photo in there. And you made a great image of it. It's very dynamic. I like the detail on the pod, seeds, and threads against that nice out-of-focus background. The thin black frame is a nice touch. Good title, too.
Paul, since I get paid the big bucks here I have to say that I would move the milkweed pod down and to the left. Now that I've done my job, let me say that I like this image a lot. I remember these cool pods and seeds, great to watch them being blown by the wind or pluck one and make it go on your own schedule!Really nice capture to get one in the process of launching!

Paul, I like the effect from Topaz and the bg is very complimentary. I think it's cool that they are still anchored to the tip and there are quite a few more in the pod.

Paul, I love these seed pods and having the seeds hanging on like that is a nice find. Kerry makes a good suggestion. Very nice processing and I think the Topaz added a little something special to this. Nicely done.
Paul, I think Kerry nailed it in his critique...a bit lower and to the left...and I might be tempted to select and blur the background colors just a bit...and, like Kerry, I like this shot a lot. Wonderful job with the processing!
Hi Paul, Great subject with the spicify(a tough filter to get to work) adding to the look along with a complimentary backround.. IMO the subject is framed well.
Hi Paul. this turned out very well. These seed pods are the best. Kerry makes a good suggestion for tweaking the comp. I love the anticipation created here with the seeds about to fly. Nice one!
Paul, I love this a lot... well seen and composed! The wind blown effect combined with the simplified bg is just lovely. Nicely framed.
This image really appeals to me. Really good underlying pic, and the processing works well. It doesn't compete with the pic.
