Mike, the red BG created by the leaf really makes this first class. the pod looks a little like a squid.

Very pretty macro - I really like the use of a natural background. The milkweed threads following the main leaf vein keeps it from being too busy and instead complimenting the primary subject.

Thanks for sharing!

I love the contrasts, your color combinations and your placement of the seed in the comp. Very nice graphic qualities. I like the fact the seed strands are flowing down while the leaf veins are running the opposite direction. :toast:

My first reaction when I saw the thumbnail and your name was "what, no leaves"? Then I opened the image. :biggrin: Seriously, this is a beautiful. I'm really enjoying these closeups! :toast:

Great shot Mike, I love the contrasting colors and detail. The milkweed seed almost looks like you could flyfish with it! :toast: :toast:

Mike this is an amazing image. The white really pops against the red. Great detail and sharpness. This Picture is over the top. Great work.
