Milkweed Dancer

Gallery: FloraPosted November 25, 2012138 views9 comments
Nikon D600, 150mm, F/10, 1/30sec, ISO 200.

The third of the series Do I see a Cossack dancer or a cancan dancer raising their heels! Am I being too imaginative? What do you see in this composition? Comments appreciated.


The world spent 1.7trillion$ in the arms trade in 2011....
How better the world would be, If half the amount spent on arms were given to the poor and the downtrodden, for food, medicine, housing, and education

The background on this matches perfectly with the light airy feeling of the seed bursts. Well seen!

Excellent, Albert. So is this an indoor image? Your first post in this series indicated that the later shots were all indoors. The bg looks pretty natural. I like it. :toast:

Another great one, Albert. :smile: I like all the different pods you caught dispersing their seeds. Nice background too. Only wish might be for a bit more room at the bottom.

I like this very much, Albert. To have found this, you're very observant. It dances for me. I agree with your
comment regarding the arms trade.
