Handheld, macro lens, very shallow DOF closeup of a seedling from the Western salsify flower, evening light, slight breeze.

I wanted to give back the delicate feeling of "flutter" that these seeds have when there's just a few left, when they're barely holding on anymore, ready to fly. They look very "tremulous" to me then. I hope the feeling comes through.
