Lori,
The black background was inspired and works extremely well with the subject. I like your framing choice as well as the lighting you managed.
Well done . . .  devil

You've got outstanding detail in the seeds and their parachutes, Lori.  Your comp. looks good and the black background sets the seeds off very well.  These seeds are fun and challenging to shoot.  You can also get a black background by making sure that the seeds are sunlit and the background in shade.
