I love the way you have caught the seed heads drifting away, Jeroen. A lovely shot.

Really crisp and clear a cracking image made all the better by the falling seed heads.

Lovely image Jeroen, all the elements came together very nicely, even a hint of 'lady luck'. For once a hint of wind was a welcome touch. Great colour tones overall :toast:
