Dock seeds

"What is a weed but a flower in disguise "

Amazing how different a weed like this dock can look with the stacking treatment and a black back drop.

John:
This looks great. The light is nice and the colors really pops with the black bg. Well done.

I love the quotation John and I admire the image. Nice light, great bg for the subject and strong composition. Also your stack is crisp and sharp. Very fine work for my tastes.

Great job in finding the beauty in all things even weeds! We miss so much if we don't take the time to look at the world around us with an open mind. I like your comp, the colors against the black BG, and the great details. Wonderful photo, John!
