Old Flower - Day 1

Comment by talj:
I actually quite like the lighting on the 'fluffy bits'. I think I would have done a bit of 'gardening' around the head of the old flower as the leaves are a little distracting. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with tomorrow! ;o)

Great pet collage! Some canned philosophical trash at the bottom would make this into a fast selling poster for kids!

Great image. Would have a lot more impact with a much tighter crop, even square. The inclusion of the dead plant really gives a nice contrast to the seeds.

These things are always good. I think I'd like to see more detail around the edges - so perhaps a bit more DOF would be good. I think it is just the hairs furtherest away that are just out of focus. Of course it might just be my eyes fooling me and it is just the multitude of hairs in spots.

These puffball seeds are so fun! I like how you captured the green stem, the puffball, and the dead part of another flower that's already been blown away showing many parts of the life cycle of this flower. The lighting on this one seems a bit harsh like you used a flash? Anyway, thanks for reminding me that I have some old seed pods tucked away somewhere that would be great for this macro challenge!

I would have thought it was a dandylion without your description. Nice DOF with very sharp object of the shot. Good representation of flower retirement.

That's a simple and elegant ocean/beach shot. I have enjoyed your images from the island in the "where you live" side challenge this last month. PM me anytime you want to say " aloha" as a friend.
