Sky Pods

Just a follow up to my last post, again, I don't usually shoot these types of images, but on this bitterly cold crisp morning, these pods caught my eye. From a low angle, framing them against the sky.

ISO-80, 1/320th, f-4.0, flash fired in macro. Thanks for any C&C!

The flash is a little more apparent in this image, but it is still very nicely done, Bill. Very creative. I would be curious to see this with the pods warmed up just a touch.

This is pretty cool, Bill. I was just looking at some of these pods early this morning. Nice textures and framing.

has a sort of other world effect that I like Bill. Excellent detail. Strong comp. Good looking image for my tastes.
