The crisp sharpness enhances the appearance of the fibers and the seeds in the center. The whites look perfect. The background is a little busy for my tastes.

Beautifully detailed capture, John - the pods have such a lovely rhythm ! I guess the bg is a touch busy but I don't really mind, as the colours seem to set off the pods so well.

John:
The milkweed pods are perfectly captured; crisp and correctly exposed. The bg does not bother me as the foreground subject is so captivating.
