Nikon D300, Sigma 150. F/22, 2sec, ISO 200. Mirror up, cable release.

I hope that this is enough of a closeup for macro. Comments appreciated.

Albert, Wonderful colors, detail and VERY interesting subject!
It would be even better, imo, with more room all around.

Albert:
Great details here, better than the one in flora IMO. Love the silky threads.

Excellent BG for this shot. I agree with Sandy's comment on a bit more space, but still a very nice capture, Albert. :toast:

Albert, what a great shot. The background color really compliments the milkweed. Good job.

I like what you tried to do. I'm not sure the background looks natural but it makes for an interesting shot.. It could use a little more space on both sides so the entire milkweed was included in the shot.
