Maple Seed Abstract

I made this abstract indoors by dropping a maple seed through the camera frame during an exposure. I then converted to B&W and inverted the image to bring out the details in the seed. This may be borderline "nature" photography due to the highly controlled situation; but it is a natural motion!?

full frame
0.8 @5.6
55mm

C&C much appreciated

cheers
