Sundew?

I think this is the flowering part of a sundew. Not quite sure, but it was growing out of the center of a sundew plant.

Excellent! I'm usually not fond of black bg's but the composition and detail here are wonderful.

Hi Michael,

WOW - Awesome image! I think the background really helps make the subject pop! Beautiful colours and tones in the subject!

Beautiful shot, Michael! I love the light on the hairs! It is most likely to be the flower of a sundew if its growing out of the centre isn't it? :biggrin: :toast:

I love the simplicity of this picture. Very well composed, and great saturated colour...

Hi Mike

Very nice picture, great composition. But I think that the contrast of the hairs and the saturation are slightly too "artificial". Did you post-processed it a lot?
best
