Actually, it was on my front porch in front of a black foam core board. Sunlight is my favorite light to work with these days!

The detail and composition here are fantastic. My favorite part, though, is the black background. Did you bring this into a studio to shoot it? Great shot!

The diagonal lines make this image very dynamic. The black background for the white subject gives it impact.

Very nice. You can almost feel the softness. If you're trying to portray the seeds blowing out of the pod, a slower shutter speed might have worked better to give a sense of movement. Looks perhaps a little over-sharpened too (light halos round the dark seeds). But it's still a very nice shot and one which I think will do well.

Lovely set up. Extremely well taken shot. Nicely exposed. The trailing off seed is a great touch (it must have taken forever to set up!) 10 Rob the Swash

Excellent choice of lighting; the dark background and the highlights on the silk give wonderful texture to the shot. Very seasonal as well. Winter's a-coming! BTW, really like the comp as well.
