I like shooting stuff like this. The individual seeds look like ballerinas.

(8,049 posts)11. Maybe? I think alfredo thinks it is.
I'd been passing by this plant/weed time and again and then one day the light was right. This image was taken with my EM1 Mk2
set to HDR 1.

I like the slightly chaotic mix of the different parts: leaves, silk and seeds.
The colors are also vibrant and terrific.
