Very nicely seen and captured Carolyn. I've never seen a Japanese Anenome with such a wonderful seed head. Only nit is too bad you don't have a larger version. All the better to see the details. :wink:

Beautiful circular pattern to the seeds. I too wish you had included a larger image.

Nice capture.

Regards,

Carol

Carolyn:
I like the comp with the stem leading to the seedhead and the falling seeds. Nicely done.
