Nikon D600, 150mm, F/14, 1/3sec, ISO 400. mirrir up, 2 sec release

The last of the present milkweed series. I like the detail and glow from the floss against the black background. I wanted symmetry in this composition, and composed the two pods pointing to the upper corners. please see the large version for more detail. Comments appreciated.

The glow is indeed really fine and all of the seeds so fluffy. The lighting is great.

Hi Albert,
Excellent light and very good contrast against dark BG, but nothing can beat the previous one (IMO). Anyhow, nice photo.

Looks so gentle against the black bg. The composition is lovely.

Albert, I love the contrast between the warm hue in the center and the blue in the outer hair. Splendid the last version too.
Cheers.
