I like the milkweed also because the seeds are so delicate. The color and whites are handled very well. I also like the composition and the background. fine image.

Carolyn, this is exquisite. Yesterday when I was out I kept looking for things you would have photographed, but didn't see any. :)

Carolyn: I think I like this one even more than your last milkweed shot and it was pretty special. Terrific whites and plane of focus management. 2+ thumbs up! >=))>

Splendid capture, Carolyn ! Great feeling of vitality about the image - and all perfectly sharp, well lit and with such a beautiful range of colours.

All beautiful the photos in this series, Carolyn.What do you think about darkening the stem at the level of the BG?
Take care.
