Beautiful shot. One of the best Milkweed shots I've seen. I rarely see milkweeds with the seeds at the bottom. Is this something you put together in a studio?

Glittering with detail and a very creative comp. I, too, would like to know more about the circumstances of the shot and the processing, just out of curiosity. How did you handle the bg for instance? Drape? Selection and dropped; if so, how on earth did you achieve the selection? Very artistic in any case.

Very effective. Love the bg as it really brings out the contrast of the white and black.
