I had been watching the wind blow these seeds for several minutes,until I got this shot. Hope you like it.

Excellent timing Lucy. Acceptable sharpness for such a tough shot. I like the blue sky and clouded BG.

Lucy:
Excellent! Using the sky as the bg gives this a very airy feel befitting the flights of these tiny seeds. :toast:

These seeds are fascinating to watch and photograph. :smile: I like how you have caught several of them in flight. I also like your POV and comp with the sky in the background; it makes it feel like the seeds are floating off into the sky.

Nice frozen moment. I like the visibility of the clouds, which provide a context, placing this in the environment as opposed to a studio-looking shot.

I'm so glad you like the POV. I have been known to lie down on the ground for many a shot :biggrin: I just have to watch out for fire ants!
