Albert: OK, this is now my favorite of the series. to make this super perfect I would make the pods/leaves in the LLC go away and then print it large. Superior shot. >=))>

I think I also like this one the best, Albert.

They are such an amazing plant to observe and photograph at this stage of their lives. Wonderful form and comp in this. You really should post a Milkweed picture in our Weekly Challenge this week! The theme is "fluffy" natural objects.

Hi Albert,
this is an excellent photo with perfect clarity. You have made a good attempt here, choosing to go in tight on the milkweed. The composition works well, and the focus with deep DOF draws the attention to all nice details. The milkweed itself is very well-exposed. Excellent!!!

This is beautiful Albert! I have tried getting some similar shots of milkweed & never got anything anywhere near this nice. I think it is a tough shot to do....you chose your focal point perfectly!
