"BlackTie" Only

The time for dropping lotus seeds must have been a formal event...black (or brown) tie only!  I love the interesting shapes and shadows on these seed pods, and I just happened to notice the bow tie above the pod and had to mention it.

Your emphasis on the shape of the nodding head and how both it and the sharp stem are mimicked in the background looks good, Lucy.  I'm not sure, but I think I see a bit of motion blur in the the larger version (especially in the bulging seeds on the left).
