Liked the colors and the floral shape of the seeds coming out of the pod. Taken with Canon 40D, 100-400 IS lens.

Comments welcomed.

Very elegant Patricia - there is so much to behold. The textures are amazing and the comp is lush. Seeing this in person, I probably would have moved in. But damn - I would have missed a killer image. This Milkweed cornucopia is near perfect... :toast:

Milkweed seeds have very white filaments. And this is a great capture. Good contrast, good color, good composition showing the leaves, pod and seeds.
