Unknown Seed Head

There is significant spotting that could be done and perhaps I should do more, but I wanted to allow the obvious mirror effect. I learn from your critique and encourage everyone to spell out everything you think would improve my effort.

Really like this! I would clean up most if not all of the "spots" and move the weed down in the frame so it's in the bottom half of the frame (if you don't have room, cloning in the plain black canvas would be easy) .
LOVE the simplicity and clear reflection!

Very well done. I too would clone out some small distracting spots

VERY artistic presentation Charlie. I agree on cleaning up some spots but this is an incredible photograph IMO.

Charlie:
Creative and excellent execution. Like Sandy suggestion of the crop. Another thing you could try is to angle the seed a little so its not exactly horizontal.
