Clematis

These are the seeds of Clematis vitalba (Traveller's joy, or Old man's beard) native plant to much of Europe. It's a climbing plant, which can you find most in different type of woods.
It's almost a hot shot, made yesterday late afternoon at the river Rába. I hope, you enjoy.
450D + 70-200 f/4L USM
ISO200, 1/500 , f/4.5, tripod

Lajos: This is a really nice comp with the light in the background. It looks like there were many light source in the background: were these in the shadow with many streams of sunlight shining through? I really like this effect. :toast:

the glowing orbs of light in the background really highlight the seed pods of the clematis. Nice details in their hairy fronds.
