WC # 110 - In the White Deep

Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted January 13, 20042,630 views7 comments
Here in Wyoming, the snow has become very deep. But my first photographic love is macros - although the snow has chilled every bug into submission, I continue to plug away. As fruitless as it seems, occassionally I spot something that captures my interest. I am not sure of the species (it is a composite flower of some sort - I am guessing Goatsbeard) but a like the macro patterns created by the pappus.

D100, 105 mm, 81A, reflector, support, timer and my loyal assistant, Spark, digging for rodents in the yard.

Congrats Will,

This was, in my opinion, the best in the series. You captured the textures in the plant parts perfectly. Great image!!

Very good details, textures, and interest with the dried look on white..
It has a symmetry provided by the curved petals that I like.
Give Spark a pat on the head for me too :smile:
Well done :toast:
