I like the wild and feathery tendrils, the slightly chaotic feel to this, and the almost sepia tones. I'm wondering about the comp and if there could be some white space cropped out on the right side and possibly at the top. It just feels like it needs to be a little more contained or something. But the flowers/pods (?) are really beautiful and interesting as subjects.

Congratulations on the WP, Albert.  A beautiful image.  I like the almost sepia look of the seed heads and the triangular composition.  I don't see many of these around here, but they or a close relative grow wild in Eastern Washington, and I've always thought they would make great subjects-this image proves it.  I'll have to make time to get over there in seed season-I can see half a dozen interesting studies from these.
